A Walk to Remember

What to Know

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.

Patricia Karounos

Refinery29

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.

Matt Brunson

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

Aurela S 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. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Patty V Sappy and dated, but cute Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Daniel S 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. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Barbara M Justice for A Walk to Remember Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/08/24 Full Review Ruby C I made an account literally just for this… this movie is so bad.Look, I’m a hopeless romantic—I love romance movies, and my favorite movie is 10 Things I Hate About You. But this movie… was so bad. I can’t even think of anything else. The characters have, like, zero chemistry. He really only fell in love with her because she could sing and looked good in the dress she was wearing during the play. And I haven’t even finished the movie yet, but I’m over halfway through, and it doesn’t even seem like she likes him at all.And also, how many tropes can you fit in one movie? I’m sorry, but there are so many, it just ruins it. Oh, she’s the pastor’s daughter who wants to witness a miracle, has a to-do list for her life, and isn’t allowed to date? Cliche. Oh, he’s the bad boy with daddy issues who can’t dance? Cliche. Oh, she doesn’t want him to fall in love with her? Cliche. Oh, he’s falling out with his friends because of her? Cliche. There’s just *so many*.And the guy who got hurt in the beginning? Does he even play a role? At all? I don’t even know his name. Or any of the characters names. I only remember her name’s Jamie. That’s it. None of the other characters stand out enough to me, or have their names said *so much* that I remember their names. It’s just… boring.This whole movie is boring. And cliche. And just generally bad. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Frederick T Heart felt story with a slow but pleasant pace. Very emotional and learning story, where the good acting by the main characters really made you feel it all the way through your skin. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
