 "Since the movie is based on a Nicholas Sparks best seller, you know death is lurking around the corner, just waiting to spoil things."
-- Glenn Whipp, LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS
 "Faithful without being forceful, sad without being shrill, "A Walk to Remember" succeeds through sincerity."
-- Jeffrey Westhoff, NORTHWEST HERALD (CRYSTAL LAKE, IL)
"An awful movie that will only satisfy the most emotionally malleable of filmgoers."
-- Brian Webster, APOLLO GUIDE
"A fifty car pileup of cliches."
-- Scott Von Doviak, FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM
"A cumbersome and cliche-ridden movie greased with every emotional device known to man."
-- Tony Toscano, TALKING PICTURES
"A gob of drivel so sickly sweet, even the eager consumers of Moore's pasteurized ditties will retch it up like rancid crème brûlée."
-- Tor Thorsen, REEL.COM
"A supremely schmaltzy sudser that manages to be both laughably
predictable and absurdly pious...an elongated version of
a sappy afterschool TV special."
-- Frank Swietek, ONE GUY'S OPINION
"A saccharine, but fresh and PG-rated alternative to, well, Not Just Another Teen Movie."
-- Pam Sitt, SEATTLE TIMES
"A Movie to Forget"
-- Chuck Schwartz, CRANKY CRITIC®
"Plays like a bad blend of an overripe episode of TV's Dawson's Creek and a recycled and dumbed-down version of Love Story."
-- Tom Sander, SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL
"[At least] Moore is a real charmer."
-- Steve Rhodes, STEVE RHODES' INTERNET REVIEWS
"A flawed, guilty pleasure, especially if you don't mind your movies extra sweet."
-- Sue Pierman, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL
"IHOPs don't pile on this much syrup."
-- Bill Pearis, CITYSEARCH

"Poignant and moving, A Walk to Remember is an inspirational love story, capturing the innocence and idealism of that first encounter."
-- Urban Cinefile Critics, URBAN CINEFILE
"So few movies explore religion that it's disappointing to see one reduce it to an idea that fits in a sampler."
-- Lawrence Toppman, CHARLOTTE OBSERVER
"Many a parent and their teen (or preteen) kid could bond while watching A Walk To Remember. So could young romantics out on a date."
-- Jonathan Takiff, PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS
"This one is certainly well-meaning, but it's also simple-minded and contrived."
-- Eric D. Snider, ERICDSNIDER.COM
"Needless to say, the dramatics that follow are utter hooey."
-- Steve Simels, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"It has its faults, but it is a kind, unapologetic, sweetheart of a movie, and Mandy Moore leaves a positive impression."
-- Norm Schrager, FILMCRITIC.COM
"If you're a teen girl, you'll love it. Otherwise, this one probably wasn't made for you."
-- Paul Salfen, SUPERCALA.COM
"Far from perfect, but its heart is in the right place...innocent and well-meaning."
-- Dustin Putman, THEMOVIEBOY.COM
"hard as this may be to believe, Here on Earth, a surprisingly similar teen drama, was a better film."
-- David Perry, CINEMA-SCENE.COM
"A sermonizing and lifeless paean to teenage dullards."
-- Mark Palermo, COAST (HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA)

Avg. Rating: 4.8/10 |
"Shankman ... and screenwriter Karen Janszen bungle their way through the narrative as if it were a series of Bible parables and not an actual story."
-- Stephanie Zacharek, SALON.COM
"It drowns in sap."
-- Philip Wuntch, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"Could have been crisper and punchier, but it's likely to please audiences who like movies that demand four hankies."
-- Kevin Thomas, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"Rarely has leukemia looked so shimmering and benign."
-- Jan Stuart, NEWSDAY
"Plays like the old disease-of-the-week small-screen melodramas."
-- Susan Stark, DETROIT NEWS
"Proves that a movie about goodness is not the same thing as a good movie."
-- A.O. Scott, NEW YORK TIMES
"Just because A Walk to Remember is shrewd enough to activate girlish tear ducts doesn't mean it's good enough for our girls."
-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"A story about intelligent high school students that deals with first love sweetly but also seriously. It is also beautifully acted."
-- Octavio Roca, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"An idealistic love story that brings out the latent 15-year-old romantic in everyone."
-- Carrie Rickey, PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
"So boring that even its target audience talked all the way through it."
-- Rex Reed, NEW YORK OBSERVER

"What could have been a neat little story about believing in yourself is swamped by heavy-handed melodrama."
-- Connie Ogle, MIAMI HERALD
