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

Reviews for A Walk to Remember
If you're a teen girl, you'll love it. Otherwise, this one probably wasn't made for you.

Lopes along from predictable plot twist to predictable anti-climax.
06/21/02
Poignant and moving, A Walk to Remember is an inspirational love story, capturing the innocence and idealism of that first encounter.
06/20/02
Faithful without being forceful, sad without being shrill, "A Walk to Remember" succeeds through sincerity.

this film is as sweet as sugar; and as real as the porcelain bowl that it fills

Pious, wholesome, and eminently open to mockery and derision.

...an interesting tale of romance that would work with characters of any age. This just happens to have teenaged protagonists.

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

Top CriticA fifty car pileup of cliches.

A soap opera for young adults, who should be at school when all the television ones are on.

With her Biblical quotations, endless 'to-do-in-life' list ... and imperturbable superiority, [Jamie is] more than a little creepy.

Gives those of us who are romantics hope that in Hollywood, at least, a perfect love still truly exists.

hopelessly and willfully square, yet, for what it is and what it aspires to be, it's not at all bad

So few movies explore religion that it's disappointing to see one reduce it to an idea that fits in a sampler.
