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.

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 to your skin. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review 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.
