When North Carolina high school student Landon Carter (Shane West) takes part in a prank that goes wrong, the school principal punishes him by making him teach underprivileged kids and help out with the drama club's latest production. These tasks bring him into contact with born-again Christian Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore), and the two become firm friends, despite the taunts of Carter's buddies. But when Carter declares his love, Jamie reveals a shocking secret.
AMAZON REVIEW
With refreshing intelligence, A Walk to Remember offers welcome relief from the recent onslaught of teen-movie crudeness. Adapted from the novel by Nicholas Sparks and transplanted from 1958 to the present day, this admirable teen romance recognises that two 18-year-olds--Landon (Shane West) and Jamie (pop singer Mandy Moore)--can be smart, mature and sensible about the very real love they share. He's a popular kid in the cool crowd. She's got a goody-goody reputation as the dowdy daughter of a local minister (Peter Coyote); her values and priorities aren't rooted in peer pressure, and Landon feels blessed by her self-assured nobility. Their mutual affection inevitably heads into Love Story territory, but the movie is honest enough to survive its own schmaltz, and its attractive cast (including Daryl Hannah as Landon's mum) embraces a tone of sincerity and mutual respect. Finally, a teen movie with teens you can admire. --Jeff Shannon
