He discovers the power of love and faith when he falls for the preacher’s daughter in this film for older teens that includes some thematic, language and sensual content. Overall: B Caught up with the wrong crowd in high school, Landon Carter undergoes a transformation after a teenage prank goes drastically wrong. Why is A Walk To Remember rated PG? A Walk To Remember is rated PG by the MPAA But unlike the quick sex and make-up magic promoted so often, this is a story about what love could be… whether you’re dating or married. Now I’ll admit this is a chick flic (and a possible redemptive date night for all you guys who’ve taken your girl into the latest string of war movies). Initially repulsed by her faith, Landon begins to admire her direction in life and even more, her belief in him.
With a self-written list of goals to accomplish, she doesn’t cross the line even when Landon makes the move her daddy warned her about. Jamie does get prettier as her relationship with Landon blossoms but she doesn’t lose the dowdy sweater… entirely. With some content issues and plot-holes big enough to mire a school bus, this film still portrays some refreshing changes. However, this is where A Walk To Remember takes a turn down the road less traveled, at least for teen movies. In a very uncharitable tone, he lets the boy know exactly what he thinks of him. And although she may be willing to overlook his mistakes, her pulpit-pounding father (Peter Coyote) doesn’t feel the same way. Well out of his friends’ sight, he asks the preacher’s daughter for help with his lines while refusing to acknowledge her at school. Unhappy about it, he doesn’t use any sugarcoating to let the troupe of amateur actors know how he feels… especially Jamie.īut with opening night looming closer, he starts to panic.
While lying to elude police prosecution, he is instead sentenced by his principal to be part of the school’s upcoming play. Life is cool for Landon until a dare goes wrong. He hangs out with a tough crowd of truants who get their kicks by pulling pranks on their peers and harassing Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore) the Bible carrying class reject clad in a frumpy sweater. Landon Carter (Shane West) is a handsome bad-boy with an ex-girlfriend unabashedly marketing herself to get him back. A Walk To Remember doesn’t stray far from the typical teen path when it comes to characterization.
