Critics Consensus

Though wholesome, the Mandy Moore vehicle A Walk to Remember is also bland and oppressively syrupy.

This realist fairy tale of impossible love has a fair amount of nuance and charm.

It's an overwrought teen weepy, Terms of Endearment for the TRL crowd.

The pit in your stomach that forms when her reasoning is finally revealed never quite goes away, even as the young couple stay steadfast in their love for each other.

Film Frenzy

This was greeted with savage reviews upon its initial release, but it's actually one of the better Mandy Moore movies, one of the better Nicholas Sparks adaptations, and one of the worthier faith-based flicks.

Rated: 2.5/4

I don't get the other critics but for me it was one of my favorite romantic movies of all time maybe it's been quite cheesy for others probably it's been done for two decades ago which is apparently in a different phase now. But for me the words used , the characters, the singing of Mandy Moore, the story was not just another teen movie but it was made of pure love and sweetness that would make you want to fall in love that way😍 and made me still weep after watching it for the 8th time.

Absolutely love this movie. Yes, it is cheesy as all get out, but the morality behind it and the growth of the characters that takes place make the movie worth watching.

Really enjoyed it, but it seemed to move too quickly. Some films execute an expedited story well. This is good, just could have slowed it down a little.
