The story of two North Carolina teens, Landon Carter and Jamie Sullivan, who are thrown together after Landon gets into trouble and is made to do community service.
I watched A Walk to Remember after I read Nicholas Sparks novel, thus there were no surprises to the storyline. Although the kind of books Sparks writes in general should have given a clue that not all ends well.
The acting well, no offense but it was Mandy Moore and Shane West, it was passable enough for a teen romance and weekend slumber parties. The first forty minutes were okay, when Landon and Jamie were still on other fences of the social ladder and it added for friction and thought it had the most depth of the entire film.
I can take the dying part in a book but in a movie – ahhh!
