The best of the Nicholas Sparks films. Great chemistry. Sweet story

| Sep 4, 2024

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.

| Oct 23, 2023

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 19, 2022

Mandy Moore's film to forget.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 31, 2022

Adopts a breezy anti-cynicism as a pose, and then spends the rest of the time failing in the most spectacular way to competently execute it.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Apr 5, 2012

Too-syrupy re-tread of Love Story.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 21, 2010

This realist fairy tale of impossible love has a fair amount of nuance and charm.

| Jan 20, 2010

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

Full Review | Jan 20, 2010

This is a great romantic tearjerker.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 29, 2009

A shameless, compassionate tearjerker about hope, inspiration and courage.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 7, 2008

For anyone under 13, free from cynicism and with a need to believe that 17 year-old boys aren't just after one thing, maybe this film rocks.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 30, 2006

The hardest part about watching the sappy, preachy teen hanky-fest A Walk to Remember is deciding who to blame for it.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 9, 2006

Succeeds modestly as a teen movie. Expect anything else from it and you'll be disappointed.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 23, 2006

An adolescent romance we've seen a million times before.

| Jan 26, 2006

Those raised on idealized romances (the Ken and Barbie kind) where love conquers all will no doubt love this sappy tale.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 1, 2003

[A] wretched teen dramedy.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Mar 10, 2003

A kind of low-rent version of Love Story with overt religious overtones...

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 8, 2003

'No one was expecting Remains of the Day but this film could have been more than just a Dawson's Creek stop gap.'

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 22, 2003

Wholly un-groundbreaking, deeply conservative, increasingly sentimental, but reflecting some of the best of those qualities.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 10, 2003

This horrific teen romance-cum-weepie is best watched from between your fingers, or from under your seat, or perhaps standing outside the cinema looking in the opposite direction.
