A Walk to Remember is a quiet but remarkable film. One moment, in which the main characters gather in a church, is reminiscent of the breathtaking Communion scene from Places in the Heart. Peter Coyote delivers one of the finest performances of his eccentric career, portraying Jamie's strict but emotionally generous father. The class nerd and the class thug discover a love for one another. Soon enough, however, Jamie is exchanging misty glances with Landon Carter (Shane West). In its opening scenes, A Walk to Remember feels like just another movie in which thrill-seeking teen-agers behave moronically. Young evangelical pop singer Mandy Moore portrays Jamie Sullivan, a straight-laced, brilliant, and ostracized preacher's kid in a small North Carolina town. A Walk to Remember (Warner Bros.) is based on a tear-inducing novel by Nicholas Sparks (author of Message in a Bottle).
