1. Quality

2. Summary

   Good 3.0

   Bad boy gets turned around by good girl. Not exactly original, but “A Walk to Remember” will remind you just how a good old fashioned love story can bring a smile to your face. A little sappy at times, but honestly, perhaps a little sap is good from time to time.

4. Acting

   Good 3.0

   Shane West was mildly believable as the high school rebel type — but does much better later on as the deeply impacted and thoughtful boy. Mandy Moore is qreal gem in this film. Starting with wholesome good looks and genuine good nature is a subtle flirt with a very mildly sarcastic humor that will bring a smile to your face. Peter Coyote puts out a solid performance as the heartfelt and concerned reverend-father. I didn’t even recognize Daryl Hannah, who was sporting bobbed brunette hair.

10. Film

    Good 3.0

    The story is mostly predictable, but nevertheless very enjoyable. A twist is thrown at you that adds drama to the feel good love story. All in all a very well done film that will please.
