A Walk To Remember (2002)
Landon Carter (Shane West) is your typical popular guy that does something bad in the beginning of the movie. His bad actions end up forcing him to participate in after-school community service. Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore) is far from popular. Landon's crew generally likes to make fun of Jamie as she walks by. While completing his community service work, Landon gets to know Jamie pretty well. Of course, they end up falling in love. But, Jamie has a secret that she had been keeping from Landon, which is the fact that she has cancer. The cancer had become non-responsive to treatments, meaning that Jamie would soon die from her illness. Generally, I enjoy romantic movies, but I just thought that this one was okay. Most of it seemed a bit cheesy, at times. I also thought that Landon's character transformed too fast from being a bad guy to being a sweet, loving guy. It just didn't seem like something that would happen so quickly in real life. Overall, the acting wasn't bad, and it did manage to keep my attention, but I'm not sure as to whether or not I'd ever watch it again.
I gave this movie 6/10 stars on imdb.com.
