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.

It's an overwrought teen weepy, Terms of Endearment for the TRL crowd.

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

Audience Member I love this move so much. its literally my favorite movie. Its really a wholesome movie and its very cute. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Faiz D A nice romantic film. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Kate M I don't get the other critics but for me it was one of my favorite romantic movies of all time maybe it's been quite cheesy for others probably it's been done for two decades ago which is apparently in a different phase now. But for me the words used , the characters, the singing of Mandy Moore, the story was not just another teen movie but it was made of pure love and sweetness that would make you want to fall in love that way😍 and made me still weep after watching it for the 8th time. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
