Runtime: 1 hr 42 mins

Genre: Dramas

Theatrical Release:Jan 25, 2002 Wide

Box Office: $41,090,572

Synopsis: Landon Carter (Shane West) and his friends are the coolest kids in Beaufort, North Carolina. They wear the right clothes, drive the right cars, and get into just enough trouble to be rebellious.... Landon Carter (Shane West) and his friends are the coolest kids in Beaufort, North Carolina. They wear the right clothes, drive the right cars, and get into just enough trouble to be rebellious. Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore) is the opposite--there doesn't seem to be anything cool about her. The preacher's daughter, plain Jamie wears big boxy dresses and the same sweater every day. She endures the scorn of Landon and his friends with a smile, always looking for the best in people. When a prank planned by Landon and his friend goes terribly wrong, the principal sentences him to tutoring on the weekends and working on the school play, activities in which Jamie is involved. As the two begin spending time together, Landon finds himself intrigued by this guileless girl who sees beauty in everything and exhibits unwavering faith in people and in the world. When circumstances beyond Landon and Jamie's control threaten their love, he stays by her side and does everything he can to make her dreams come true. Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks, the film also stars Peter Coyote and Daryl Hannah. [More]

Proves that a movie about goodness is not the same thing as a good movie.

It's sad that Moore's first major cinematic outing scrapes the bottom of the melodramatic barrel.

So boring that even its target audience talked all the way through it.

A love story so sweet, sincere and positive that it sneaks past the defenses built up in this age of irony.

Plays like the old disease-of-the-week small-screen melodramas.

There's not enough saccharine (even in this film) to flavor Moore's performance above bland.
