Just because A Walk to Remember is shrewd enough to activate girlish tear ducts doesn't mean it's good enough for our girls.

Peter Bradshaw Guardian [UK] (Top Critic)

This horrific teen romance-cum-weepie is best watched from between your fingers, or from under your seat, or perhaps standing outside the cinema looking in the opposite direction.

If you can't see everything in this film coming from a mile away, then you really need to get out more.

It's sad that Moore's first major cinematic outing scrapes the bottom of the melodramatic barrel.

Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader (Top Critic)

This realist fairy tale of impossible love has a fair amount of nuance and charm.

Rex Reed New York Observer (Top Critic)

So boring that even its target audience talked all the way through it.

Joe Leydon Variety (Top Critic)

As far as I'm concerned, very little of what happens in this glossy teen-weepie romance can be described as surprising, and even less of it feels fresh or spontaneous.

Christy Lemire Associated Press (Top Critic)

It's an overwrought teen weepy, Terms of Endearment for the TRL crowd.

Too-syrupy re-tread of Love Story.

A shameless, compassionate tearjerker about hope, inspiration and courage.

For anyone under 13, free from cynicism and with a need to believe that 17 year-old boys aren't just after one thing, maybe this film rocks.

Succeeds modestly as a teen movie. Expect anything else from it and you'll be disappointed.

Time Out

An adolescent romance we've seen a million times before.

Those raised on idealized romances (the Ken and Barbie kind) where love conquers all will no doubt love this sappy tale.

[A] wretched teen dramedy.

A kind of low-rent version of Love Story with overt religious overtones...

'No one was expecting Remains of the Day but this film could have been more than just a Dawson's Creek stop gap.'

Wholly un-groundbreaking, deeply conservative, increasingly sentimental, but reflecting some of the best of those qualities.

Director Shankman ditches character development in favour of delivering an exploitative date movie and dubiously conservative moral lesson.

Mandy Moore only has herself to blame for choosing such a tooth-rottingly sentimental weepie as this.

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.

Mark Palermo Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)

A sermonizing and lifeless paean to teenage dullards.

If you're a teen girl, you'll love it. Otherwise, this one probably wasn't made for you.

Lopes along from predictable plot twist to predictable anti-climax.
