Perfect Love Story - Reviewed on 2008-08-12

"A Walk to Remember." Understand my full meaning when I say that this movie, an adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' novel of the same name, is my favorite love story. Period. I know there are parts that have room for improvement, such as the dialogue in the beginning, but I love this movie like I love every good story. Unreasonably and fully.
I first saw this movie when I was in high school. I caught it in the middle during an airing on HBO, and was captivated by how Landon (Shane West) and Jamie (Mandy Moore) came together, how it not only sent Landon on a soul searching path to redemption, it also enriched Jamie's life in a way that is hard to describe. The performances are pitch perfect, but so genuine and underplayed that you almost forget you're watching a movie, which is an effect that only a handful of films had ever had on me... and I've watched thousands of movies. So in seeing the second half of this movie, I knew I had to have it... and was ecstatic to see that it was playing again directly after the first airing. I taped it and, as I was home sick the entire next week, I must have watched it at least once each day. Twice, on some. I bought the DVD soon after.
Few movies are as sincere as this one and, while it does delve into very lovey dovey territory, it never feels gooey or false. This movie is a celebration of faith, love, change, life, and death, and it will always be in my Top Five.
10/10 Classic.
