You f*king ROCK! I agree. This coming from someone who used to have an Anti-Mandy Moore site ;) Ah, she rocks now! Woot. woot!

I absolutely adore this movie, and I totally agree with the review. I didn't even bother seeing "Crossroads" because Britney Spears irks me to no end, and is so fake its disgusting. Mandy Moore definitely delivered a wonderful performance in her role, therefore I have a newfound respect for her and her music.

Mr Huh? the story goes a bit beyond being a "romance". There are added plot and character elements that take it in a different direction. I don't think I would have been as impressed if the story was only focused on the "romance" aspect. While that may have made it a decent film, these other elements are what give the film it's power.

Whoever thought this movie was bad or dared utter a negative comment about it is a nimrod, and a dimwitted tasteless idiot. (sooooo much love) I adored this movie. It was a beautiful movie, way better than the book, that taught me about life and love and devotion and respect. every scene taught me a different lesson. I laughed throughout "Crossroads". THAT was another teen movie. Mandy Moore is only a beginner in acting, but she's already made 2 very smart decisions. Her character in Princess Diaries would have beat up her Character in "Walk", AND one is a comedy, and the other a drama. 2 very smart choices very early on. Congratulations, Mandy!

I also thought that "A Walk To Remember" was one of the best films that came out this year, and maybe ever. Every scene just makes you want to know what would happen next. It does have a disappointing ending but the whole point of the movie really grabs you. It's a movie worth watching because of the plot, the acting, even the great music. I didn't really bother taking a second look on Mandy Moore and Shane West but after this movie, I have a great new respect for them. "A Walk to Remember" has a lot of messages behind it. I do not know what to say about "Crossroads" but I think that just wasn't appealing. I feel like it's just another Britney Spears advertisement. The acting and the plot was just not interesting. It's so typical that it's not worth seeing a hundred times.

A Walk to Remember is one of those movies that can just...touch your soul. I totally agree with you. ~Meaghan

Mandy Moore rocked in the movie.There is no way you compare them both. A Walk To Remember was a movie you could watch over and over and love it more. It had a wonderfull storyline and with great actors..All I can say is no comment to the other movie...

I agree with the review. No doubt, Mandy delivered a better performance than Britney. I admit I already had an opinion before I even saw the movies, but AWTR definetly had more of an impact. To me, Crossroads was dull and very unorginal, and the bad acting didn't help it either.

Posted by VampireRyan:
I hate them both. Pop stars can't act or sing. Thank god it is dying.

I liked Crossroads better, man! Britney was a great actress, and Crossroads was a wonderful movie.

Posted by CJ:
I hadn't read a review that i agreed with until now. I have seen both movies and Crossroads shouldn't be compared with AWTR, Crossroads was just a new Britney music video that lasts longer than it should. AWTR is, though cliched at times, moving and well-acted. I look forward to future projects from Shane West and Mandy Moore, though I agree it would be difficult to top these performances.

Man, I'm a guy and why I don't care much for "romance" films, I've gotta say that from the many great things said on this site, I'm incredibly tempted to see this movie. Not only is Mandy Moore better personality-wise than Britney Spears, but apparently acting-wise as well.

I can't comment on crossroads, I haven't seen it but I did see A Walk To Remember last week and you are right it was a really touching movie and Mandy Moore did far better than I imagined. Like someone said a few posts down, if she went into a more adult area with her music, she does have the talent to have a long career in music but I hope she continues acting. I thought she did a far better job in this movie than Haley Barry did in Monster's Ball. Thank you for a thoughtful review and the warning about Crossroads. One more thing, this wasn't a chic flic like many expect. I'm no fan of Sandra Bullock and I loved this movie.

I knew someone was going to say that Jeff. Britney's movie could be called a chick flick or just a God awful pic. AWTR may be thought of in that way by some but it really isn't a "chick flick" that is unless you think any movie that doesn't have an explosion every five minutes is a chick flick. But that's why as a guy, I thought that this is more of an adult film, since I know when I was a teenager I might not have been mature enough to view this film from the proper perspective. I knew this write-up would throw some people but that's ok, I'm used to it.

A Walk to Remember is totally an awesome movie, i cried a lot when i saw this movie and take note i've watched this over 5 times and still it hits my heart like a thunder. As for Britney, grow up girl and try to find your luck elsewhere coz u no have talent in acting and specially in singing. For Mandy, Shane and the rest of the AWTR people, you did a GREAT job! Keep it up guys!

Posted by jeff:
ummm..... chick flick reviews? am i in the right place?

Posted by Angela:
Great review, I agree with virtually everything.

Mandy has a bright future ahead of her, all she has to do is stay away from manufactured teen pop and turn into a more serious genre. her acting/singing is alot better than Britney, JLO, Mariah and Beyonce combined!

I was glad I was able to see this movie. It touched me like no other movie before. I'm one of the few people who has a newfound respect for Mandy Moore. Her acting was unbelievable; I didn't think she would pull it off, but she did very well. I've already seen this movie for 2 times, and I plan to buy the DVD as soon as possible. About "Crossroads", from what I've heard in many sites, I wouldn't waste my money on this, let alone my time.

I absolutly loved A Walk Top Remember! Shane West was awsome and so was mandy moore! In the begining i thought oh god here we go another signer trying to act but i was wrong! Mandy Moore brought life to her character and her and Shane West were so good together! I now own the movie and have a new outlook on Mandy Moore! As for Britney Spears well, shes a differnet story! I never liked that trashy barbie doll! But I love Shane West any ways so of course i would have liked the movie!

Posted by Kathryn:
Oh man.A Walk To Remember was such an awesome movie.I can watch it over and over again, and even though I will know the outcome, I still enjoy it each time.Mandy and Shane did an awesome job,they were so believable playing their characters.I wish that I could find something like Jamie and Landon had!As for Britney, get over it hun.You can not act and you can not sing, give it up!

Posted by Kristy:
I absolutely Loved A Walk to Remember!!! Mandy and Shane just had the best chemistry and are some of the best actors!!! But Crossroads was defiantly a movie I know I will never see again, It majorly stunk. Like when u walk away from seeing awtr a part of you is changed, it really gives you something but when u walked away from Crossroads it was like Why the heck did I waste 5 dollars on this movie?

Posted by Christi:
I totally agree with your friend. I hated Mandy Moore before the movie; but having read the book, I thought I'd give the movie a chance. The first time I saw it, I was really disappointed because it was different from the book. The second time I saw it, I was completely changed. The movie touched my life in ways I can't exlain. Moreover, Mandy's acting was truly awesome. She and Shane had such good chemistry that the movie was believable. In the end, I wanted to be like Jaimie with a guy like Landon.

What have you done Dan Akroyd? this has got to be your worst! I sure miss Blues Brothers and Ghostbusters.

I saw the Mandy Moore movie in the theatre because my girlfriend wanted to see it. I'm glad I did, it was a really good movie that makes you think about life and what's really important. I was totally surprised at Mandy Moores acting, I look forward to her next movie.

I bet if Mandy Stays away from the evil teen pop and turns more into a more rock sound, she will be big and get more respect, as for Britney her 15 minutes of fame are up along with her male counterparts, Nsync. thank god teen pop is dying
