2/10
"A Walk To Remember is a walk that I do not recommend you take."  Modamag.com  Brian Orndorf

"The tragedy is that A Walk to Remember is so unimaginative and dull."  Nitrate Online  Cynthia Fuchs

1/4
"Those raised on idealized romances (the Ken and Barbie kind) where love conquers all will no doubt love this sappy tale."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

2.5/4
"Far from perfect, but its heart is in the right place...innocent and well-meaning."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

2/4
"As camp and sermon, the film is shamelessly undercooked."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

C-
"This one is certainly well-meaning, but it's also simple-minded and contrived."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

3/4
"This is a great romantic tearjerker."  Cinema Crazed  Felix Vasquez Jr.

D
"A supremely schmaltzy sudser that manages to be both laughably predictable and absurdly pious...an elongated version of a sappy afterschool TV special."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/4
"The target audience may enjoy the film, but there's little hope than anyone other than 11-15-year old girls will be willing to endure Shankman's curdled concoction."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

2.5/4
"hopelessly and willfully square, yet, for what it is and what it aspires to be, it's not at all bad"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

"All of the schmaltz and manipulative melodrama will make this a walk you'll probably want to run through and forget as quickly as possible."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

B-

B-
"Twelve year old girls should love this movie. "  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

"This isn't quite Glitter, but almost."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

0/4
"You will be longing to guzzle a bottle of Pepto-Bismol after being subjected to this 90-minute sap- and crap-fest."  TheMovieReport.com  Michael Dequina

2/5
"A syrupy retread of "Love Story" starring Teen Beat pin-ups."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

2/5
"Seeing as how it's based on a weepy Nicholas Sparks novel, it's not surprising that this teen romantic drama is an almost unbearably weepy film."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

"Remarkably dishonest garbage."  Eclipse Magazine  Sean O'Connell

B
"Pious, wholesome, and eminently open to mockery and derision."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus

3/10
"A flick to forget."  www.susangranger.com  Susan Granger

1/4
"If you don't know every single plot point and twist after the first twenty minutes, you've done the sensible thing and left after the first ten."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
