Still, the movie shows that Christian kindness can make a difference in other people’s lives Content: From a Christian standpoint, however, the most disappointing thing is the Romantic notion that, somehow, human love can conquer what’s bad and “save” someone from immorality. While doing his penance, Landon finds himself drawn into Jamie’s moral universe.Īlthough there are some unresolved subplots, the production values in A WALK TO REMEMBER are high, and the actors all give very good performances, including the two leads, Shane West and pop star Mandy Moore. There, Landon meets Jamie, a nerdy pastor’s daughter with upstanding, uncompromising Christian morals. For disciplinary purposes, the principal assigns him to a theatre class and extra time at school on weekends as a tutor. Though Landon evades arrest by lying to the police about his involvement in the incident, the school principal finds empty beer bottles as evidence of Landon’s continued slide into debauchery.

Landon Carter and his gang of fellow misfits open the story by hazing another high school student into their group, which results in physical harm to the boy. A WALK TO REMEMBER is a romantic teenage tearjerker based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks.
