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.

Zander G I cried but not for the reason you'd expect.... Loved Landon Rollins Karsten in this role! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/15/24 Full Review Vickie E "A walk to remember" walked so that "fault in our stars" could run Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Derek C Although it's a teen movie & a little predictable at times, it is filled with compassion, love, & faith. Overall, it was heartfelt. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Herbert F A sweet movie with an excellent performance by a much younger Mandy Moore.Streaming on our library free Kanopy service. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review chitown2bayarea All things considered, this movie really isn't as bad as some of the reviews say. Could've been better with a different director and less musical montages. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the movie as well as Mandy Moores character. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/24 Full Review Yash B "A Walk to Remember" is admittedly very silly and cheesy at times, but it is so genuinely sweet and heartwarming, that it won me over by the end. The movie is a likable romance movie that can be accessible to a wide range of age groups and I think it really captures that early 2000s era. I think watching movies about high schoolers from this era is such a unique feeling that I found the movie a bit nostalgic. I do feel the more tragic elements of this movie came off as a bit sappy, but a lot of the emotions felt real and I do think it is a movie that is sad but with purpose. Overall, it is a movie that knows what it needs to be and one that I found to be surprisingly good considering romance is not a genre I seek that often.
