A Walk to Remember

LeslieAGD · #1 01-26-2002, 05:10 PM

Has anyone else seen it yet? I just saw it this afternoon and have mixed feelings. The book was amazing, but the movie was NOTHING like the book. Once the story moved into their relationship, it got better, but the beginning was too choppy for my tastes. I think they had really good on screen chemistry though! This movie made me ball my eyes out, and I'm not normally a crier.

I hate it when the movies are so different than the original version.

I saw the movie last night. I have mixed feelings as well because I didn't expect it to be a downer at all. But I love Mandy Moore; she is so sweet, and I think she did a good job in a lead role. Hey, I wouldn't mind seeing it again to just stare at Shane West for a couple hours!

my chapter pres and i have both read all of sparks' books, and are excited to see it - even though we both know it's not gonna be like the book!

Do you think this movie will be more "popular" than the upcoming Britney Spears movie?
lol.

I havent seen the movie, but i dont think either of them will do that good, just my opinion. Remember that Mariah Carey movie Glitter? It just came out in like november right? well last weekend i saw it on video already!

Did anyone see that?

I like Mandy Moore. She can do better than Fez. Like me.

DGpledge · #10 01-26-2002, 08:35 PM

lol, I love Fez. He's such a cutie!

Anyway, I went out and watched the movie last night with a bunch of my sisters...we were all crying like babies afterwards. It wasn't what I expected at all...nice twist.

Okay well, I'm home from seeing this movie with members of my exec. board.

Lemme put it this way ~ good movie for just going to a movie (excellent chick flick)

HOWEVER if you have read the book by Nicholas Sparks (which i've read them all) then you will be HIGHLY dissapointed by this movie.

like i said good movie for movie's sake - but i was expecting more

ah - such is life

I cant wait to see it! I love love love Mandy Moore

And yes Im 26 lol. But she is so cute and unslutty - Im not ashamed to like her.

Sorry to say I do not care much for Mandy Moore

. She just bothers me. Needless to say that I probably will not be seeing the movie.

Okay, I never saw Glitter but I don't think this movies will bomb like that because it was adapted from a book by an excellent author. I don't really think you can compare the two. BTW, who is Fez?

volgirl2376 · #15 01-27-2002, 11:28 AM

Fez is a character on "That 70's Show", who is also Mandy's boyfriend...I think his real name is Wilmer.

But I have a question - are they still together? I saw some commercial on MTV where she was saying "I love being single at 17"
