*A WALK TO REMEMBER* made me so emotional (A Walk To Remember Movie Reaction/Commentary)

- Since Valentine's Day is only a few days away, I wanted to watch a romance movie to get in the spirit. I decided to watch A Walk To Remember, which I've never seen before and also knew nothing about going into it besides the fact that it was a novel by Nicholas Sparks that was turned into a movie. I know A Walk To Remember is such a beloved movie by many people, and I've always wanted to watch it, so I hope you enjoy my first time watching reactions!

This is one of my favorite movies. Your right; Jamie is sweet but she isn’t a push over. That’s what’s so great about her character.
This was my first time watching and I loved it. Her character was great!
So this is a favorite of mine. Something that I'm shocked no one brought up is the name of the movie 'A Walk to Remember'. I'm not sure why the decision was made to leave this out of the movie but in the book after she gets moved from the hospital to home care, she continues to get more sick and she basically becomes wheelchair bound because she doesn't have the strength or muscle mass anymore. When they get to the wedding she gets out of her wheelchair and manages to walk down the aisle which Landon describes as the 'Walk to Remember'.
Oh wow that makes so much sense! They definitely should have included that!
Steph: They're gonna get married and then she's gonna die a day later
Movie: We spent the summer together and then she went
Steph: What? That's so short!
I didn’t even realize I said this 😂 by my metrics then the summer would be quite a long time compared to a day lol
i think landon is the ideal boyfriend. he loves jaimie so much he would do anything to make her happy.
Agreed! You can tell he really cares about her and it warms my heart
I’m a grown man that loves this movie, and trust me I don’t even watch romance films but this one special, funny way I saw this film for the first time was in middle school in class during a free day lol
This definitely seems to be a universally loved movie, and I see why!
"The bar is so low" I'm dead lmao
The first time i ever heard of this film was when i walked in to my best friends bedroom and saw her hugging her pillow and crying her eyes out 😢 at first i was concerned and asked her what was wrong 😮 then she pointed at the TV and this film was on 😅😂😂😂 eventually i watched it alone properly and understood her reaction....while i cried my eyes out 😢😅😂😂 ❤❤❤ XxXxX
I can watch this movie 39540954 times and still cry and feel the same heartbroken emotions I did the first time I watched. I also think their off screen relationship/chemistry translated so well to their characters' relationship onscreen. Beautiful and one of the most purest love stories.
Agreed!
Fun facts:
1. a lot of the sets that were used were Dawson's creek sets
2. Mandy turned 17 during filming(dinner scene at 12:25 was her birthday)
Oh wow I had no idea she was that young while filming this!
@@StephLeone yup.
Oh and here is the link for Mandy Moore's music video Cry: th-cam.com/video/F3Esz4caf-E/w-d-xo.html (there is a connection to this movie. You'll see it right away)
That part where Landon knew about Jamie's illness, then ran to his dad got me every time. I'm surprised you didn't. lol
This one always makes me tear up haha!
I heard it was a really emotional movie, but I wasn’t prepared for everything that happened lol
Nicholas Sparks wrote this book for his sister who died from cancer at a young age
Oh wow, I had no idea!
Watched this after church with my youth group when this came out on video. We were all a mess😂
It’s definitely a tear jerker! I think if I wasn’t recording, I’d probably be crying while watching 😂
A theme with Nicholas Sparks books: a main character dies.
I had the soundtrack which was pretty good.
Yeah I have noticed that with the film adaptations I’ve seen of his books. I did like the soundtrack for this a lot!
@@StephLeone The company I worked for from late 2001 to 2005 where we did all the Disney stuff we briefly went to movie press junkets. This was one of the movies I covered, so I saw this at a screening shortly before it was in the theaters. They have us little gift bags including the (tiny) book and soundtrack. I part of the radio group for the interviews,. All the radio people sit around a table or set of tables at a hotel and different film people get cycled in for 5 to 15 minutes and we all ask questions and have mics in front of them. I only remember director Adam Shankman, Mandy Moore and Shane West coming though. Mandy was as sweet as advertised and was upset that her online fan page had just reached the flame war stage and didn't know how to stop that.
I sob EVERYTIME I watch this movie
That was actually his song he kept switching to when they were in her car and he was screwing with her radio.
Oh that’s cool! I had no idea!
@UThink UCan it was a nice touch!
My daughter's dad cried at this movie which shocked the hell outta me! Unfortunately he passed from cancer himself in '13.
It definitely pulls at the heart strings! I’m sorry to hear that & very sorry for your loss
Loved the reaction
Thank you!
As you’re speaking about the chemistry between the two lead actors, I agree 100 percent! I tend to believe if you’re going to make a love story, the actors need to have that natural chemistry! I’m sure you have seen this movie, but if not to do a movie commentary on Titanic. It is my absolute favorite movie ever! The chemistry between Leo and Kate is absolute fire and perfection!!👌🏼 The love story on top of the historical aspect of the film keeps my eyes glued to the screen every time!! 😫🚢💙🥺
I have seen Titanic and I agree! They have really good chemistry as well.
Great reaction, I’m subscribing! You have to read the book, it’s better than this movie adaptation (which is modernized but I still love) It’s funny, you say in your review that stories like these give unrealistic expectations for romantic gestures, but I wonder if that’s true. Maybe I was a weird teen guy growing up in the US, but for my first love (and eventual wife) I performed several grand romantic gestures. For our first Valentine’s Day I had a rose delivered to her during each of her 8 class periods. On our anniversary I bought space in the school paper to tell her how much I loved her, written in Spanish because she was Guatemalan, and her French teacher (who also taught Spanish) brought it up during her class. I set up a surprise picnic outside her apartment for one of our first dates, and I honestly did many more during the 30 years we had together before she passed. So I think that stuff happens, but maybe it’s a learned behavior because my father has written my mom a short love letter every day since they’ve been married which will be 60 years next month.
Thank you!!
And wow, that’s amazing! I personally have never experienced anything like that. I think you’re right, it varies from person to person, but I don’t know anyone that had a partner that did a lot of romantic and grand gestures like that. I definitely think it’s based on the environment in which you grow up around though!
This is such a wholesome comment, thanks for sharing your story
Amazing vid as per usual👏 but whats also amazing is your sweater wtf?????? YOUR SWEATER IS ICONIC
Lol thank you! It’s a new purchase I’m a big fan 😂
another nicholas sparks adaption that was a significant part of my childhood is "the last song". it gives all the feels. loved you reaction!!
Thank you! I saw that movie in theaters bc I was such a huge Miley Cyrus fan. Loved that movie!
Yup I love the movie. From a kid from the streets of New York. This makes me cry a lot lol
Lol I think it’s safe to say this movie pulls at a lot of people’s heartstrings!
It's funny you brought up the ponytail thing. In the dvd commentary, the director commented that the movie never implied that Jamie was ugly, she was just different. He said that Not Another Teen Movie (which came out a year before this) came out and made the point that, as in other teen comedies, they put a girl in a ponytail to show that they're ugly or a "loser" so it looked like he was doing the same thing here, but really it was just to keep the hair out of her face.
Yeah, it’s definitely a huge trope in movies, but makes sense that’s why they did it 😂
I was thinking the same about her leaving her lunch 😂
Lol great minds think alike!
Also! Your sweater is amazing!
thanks Val ❤️
They tried but couldn't make mandy Moore unattractive! Watching the movie and all of landons friends making fun of her I was like I would be hitting on her on my first day in school, she's the most gorgeous women I've ever seen in my life
Agreed, there was no way they could make her unattractive, she’s so pretty!
it wasn’t about making her unattractive. that’s who she was, conservative and dressed in skirts. she didn’t wear makeup or do her hair because it wasn’t important to her.
How many times have I watched this movie and cried each time. You should read the book. Everyone's crying in it esp the friends. Btw, I think you didn't really cry bc you were more focused on your critique of the movie. Just saying.😏😁
I do really want to read the book now! And true, I did feel like I was getting a little emotional, if I did watch this alone or without making a video about it I may have cried a lot 😂
@@StephLeone Great critique. ❣️
@@saiyongdawn7756 thank you!
@@StephLeone 👍
I have to say that I don’t think anything Landon has done is at all unrealistic or setting unrealistic expectations on people. Healthy and stable relationships have partners who respect boundaries, listen to their partner, and support the dreams of their partner. All of which Landon is doing for Jamie! I would not settle for someone who could not do that for me and I for them. Idk just my thoughts.
Yes I agree that isn’t unrealistic and that’s what every relationship should be like. The part that I thought was unrealistic was him bringing flowers over every day to her house. That seems like an incredibly sweet gesture but I’m not sure how many people would do that in the real world
love how you subconsciously wore a pink sweater
Shane as Landon in this movie is my love forever
I chose to watch this movie for the first time on a whim after midnight 6 and a half years ago and I still don’t regret it
Have you watched The Last Song? I love that movie as well.
Lol the sweater was very fitting! And yes I have seen The Last Song. I really like it!
I'm with you. I typically don't like Nicholas Sparks movies. I'm fine with the books but something about the movies gets under my skin. I really liked this one though and also Safe Haven. Great review!
Yeah this movie really surprised me, I really enjoyed it. I’ve also seen Safe Haven and I liked that one, too. Thank you for watching! 😊
@@StephLeone Yes, they are definitely the better adaptations. Everyone talks about The Notebook. I think it's a good story but I don't find anything special about the way it was put to film.
@@ashleybundybooks I agree! I think there are many more better romance movies than The Notebook
One of my favorite 😍 movie ❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹
I like this movie because they didn't make the Leukemia the central plot that looms above our heads the entire movie. We were fooled to believe the theme is bad guy falls in love with Reverend's daughter. We got to know Jamie as if she was any normal teenager. Other movies that came after this just seem to make the illness a cheap tactic to lure the audience into watching a character slowly die. For instance, A Fault in Our Stars woulda still worked without the main characters being sick. They were just on an adventure to interview an author basically. A Walk to Remember cannot exist without the big Leukemia plot reveal.
I agree, I liked that as well
20years wow😮
Anniversary “walk to remember”
Mandy moore is one of my favorite singer i remember this when i was in grade 4 we can’t afford to watch yah bcoz you know we’re far away from city😅
And we don’t even have a dvd or cd. that time it’s hard to find a copy of movies unlike now “just click and you can just download it.
And this is the first time i watch it 😊 wow😮 im already 30 years old now😮😮😮
Kakaloka😂 paulit ulit ko pinapanuod wla tigil luha ko.
#Heartache
It is a very sweet and sad movie
We as Christians don't just believe in God. We feel Jesus' love, forgiveness, & power. The character of Jamie Sullivan is such a great portrayal of Christian Faith. I do not believe in pushing Faith down people's throats, I believe people should experience it on their own. Great reaction!
one of my favorite movie
It’s a good one!
@@StephLeone yeah
I downloaded this film's music score
It’s a great one!
Here’s to the incurable romantics…Have you seen The Fault in Our Stars??? keep’em coming!
I have seen that one. Such a tear jerker!
3:55 5:05 5:20 8:03 10:47 11:00
This is a super cute movie and yes, their chemistry is amazing. If you have the chance, read "The Choice" and "The longest ride" from Nicholas Sparks too. And for movie adaptations I'd suggest "The best of me" 😅
Thank you for the recommendations! I’ll check them out 😊
@@StephLeone thank you, I'm not an active follower of Nicholas Sparks work but back in university, I found myself reading and really liking the two books that I mentioned hehehe
In the book (which has a totally different premise btw which makes the movie much better), Landon never remarried since he kept the wedding ring on. The epilogue was also of him in his 50-ish years old.
Oh wow! I had no idea
i was 14-15 y/o, got dumped by my first gf in highschool, cried like a bitch & listened to the movie soundtrack on my ipod nano for days🤣,ahhh the memories.
Lol we’ve all been there 😂
The mom looks like John Cena 👀
Lol I’ve actually seen many comments like that before. I didn’t notice anything until after I read the comments 😂
LMAOOOO
16:20 Oh believe me, people do, but we don't notice, they are in love and literally don't care about any other people so almost always is in privacy. The ones that can see it in real life have a privilege.
Yeah, that makes sense. I guess I don’t notice since most people do make grand gestures in private vs for the world to see, but obviously in these movies, we’re seeing things from the outside
This movie is based on a true story
There is a kind of similarity between Moore's Character and Nala from the Lion King. Simba, along with Timone and Pumba, are goofing off, shirking any sort of responsibility, living carelessly and aimlessly. Then Nala steps in, disrupts the group, forces Simba to wake up, grow up, take responsibility, and achieve is full potential.
Yeah... so.... sappy, cheesy, chick-flick, right? :)
I didn’t think of it like that! That’s a great comparison
I really liked your reaction video to this, is there anyway that you can do reaction video to the 2003 many more and Macaulay Culkin movie called "Saved" ?
11:55 - This oddly shoehorned “baby” comment really makes me think they cut out a scene or two that would’ve made it make more sense because…. yeah, that wouldn’t have been the time to break out a “baby.”
based on a true story btw
I actually didn’t know that until someone commented that Nicholas Sparks wrote this for his sister who had cancer. Makes it even more heartbreaking
The thing is if you just watch this now or after many years that it was showed, there would be some cliche moments or predictable scene since some movies after this used or maybe copied it from this movie or some other movie but if you watched this many years ago, this would be one of your favorite movies
I really did enjoy the movie! I think it’s hard to be 100% original with lines/plots in general, but I’m sure other movies used this as inspiration in some regards
Hey said baby baby i thought he said Jaime Jaime but i re watch and had a caption on it the movie is free on TH-cam
Whats up?! ❤ new subscriber here, and loving your content so far. Have you ever watched Arrival starring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner?
Amazon Original The Wilds is a great tv series that I think you'd enjoy too
Much love to you and your channel.
Hi, thanks for subscribing! I have seen Arrival, great movie! I’ve heard of The Wilds but haven’t seen it yet. it sounds like something I’d really like! Thanks for watching
if you wanna see a romance movie that will really make u ball watch midnight sun. i was inconsolable after watching it lol
Is that the one with Bella Thorne? I’ve seen trailers for it and it looked like a movie that would totally make me cry lol
@@StephLeone yes it is! I’m normally not a Bella Thorne fan other than shake it up but I gotta say I REALLY loved this movie
@@Alexa-benjamin it definitely seems like my kind of movie so I will definitely check it out! Thank you for the recommendation!
I'm not your friend if I have to do something stupid first 😅
If its a nicholas sparks books someone is going to die and more often than not its the main character
I need read his other books this is the only book and movie I’ve watched of his
I have no interest in romance films, chick flicks or religion, but I was deeply moved by this film. I don't think there's really anything else to compare it to. It actually has moved me to want to be a better person.
That’s amazing when a film can have an impact like that
My friend, actually God is the only one who can make you a better person, and not exaggerating, a saint, we can't on our own, He's the only one who can make us truly love, more than the romantic feeling. not just love good people who are your friends, but also love bad people who doesn't deserve it. and more importantly: love Him. Your desire of being a better person is the inspiration of the holly spirit inside you, but Jesus told us that our "flesh" is against the spirit, and that we must fight, pray to make our flesh obey us, obey our spirit, and if we're separated from God, it's quite hard, for not saying impossible, to be REALLY good people, in the outside with our actions, but more importantly in the inside, don't get discouraged by bad people or hypocritical people in the church, It's not God's fault that they acted like that, there are and have been many saints and such good people in the church in history, and the church I'm talking about is the one Jesus Himself founded in his disciples, the Catholic apostolic, there he left us his sacraments so that we can become one day saints, the confession and the eucharist.
Seems most of the reactors I've seen agree that the first time Landon calls Jamie "baby" is cringe and forced. I agree as well, way too early.
2002 movie
Did she really die in real life
I believe the book was dedicated to Spark’s sister who died from cancer
Really hate these gen z...don't even know how to watch a movie...it's a movies...nothing is real
This was the movie that made me fall in love with Mandy Moore. But i haven’t seen it in years. And now it just seems really cringy and stagy!!! 🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣
A recent movie I really liked is “SPONTANEOUS” on Netflix. It actually has an original storyline and very entertaining! And currently holds a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes 🍅!
I’ve never heard of that one! I’ll check it out
@@StephLeone I think you’ll really really like it. If you like horror and romance.
@@JLamstudio I do! Well, I’m not the best with horror but it sounds like something I would enjoy
This sounds terrible but as a 13 year old.. I wanted cancer so bad 😂 oh god it's awful but yeah I wanted this movie to be real 🙄
One of the funniest comments I’ve ever read. We understand you wanted love
Fem?
