I am an 11 year old girl and I just saw this movie yesterday. It is now my favorite movie of all time. There is some language and some sensuality but otherwise, it is a GREAT movie. Warning: Crying while watching this movie is perfectly normal.

What Parents Need to Know
About A Walk to Remember
Parents need to know that this movie has very strong language for a PG, with many "s-words." Before Landon cleans up his act, he drinks and drives. It is clear that Jamie is very principled and their only physical involvement is some chaste kisses. At one point, she asks, "Are you trying to seduce me?" and he replies, "Are you seducible?" She says she is not and he respects her for it. Landon?s best friend is black (Al Thompson as Eric), but the character?s dialogue is so stereotyped that he seems like the "token black guy" in "Not Another Teen Movie." He and Landon have an elaborate special friendship handshake, and there is an unintentionally hilarious moment when, after an exchange of sympathy and support, they soberly go into their handshake moves.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether they have lists of things they want to do before they die, and how we can help each other realize our dreams. How can we tell that Landon was not happy when he thought he was better than Jamie? How did she show him that he could be something more? When should we care about what other people think of us, and when shouldn?t we?

Awesome movie, that I now cherish!
I love love love this movie! I just can't describe how awesome it is! I don't get why commonsense rated it so low! It's my #1 favorite now! Just know, that there is no sexuality what so ever, just teens fooling around. The romance is sweet. The ending made me shed tears for hours!(literaly) I don't want to spoil it for you. Just watch it! The cursing was okay, and not that bad. The girl is the best role model ever!

A Movie to Remember
This was an 'ahh inspiring' movie. The music was beautiful, and the story-line captured me in a momment of truth and reality. I would highly reccomend (with some form of filtering system due to some very iffy content) Great messages throughout the entire movie. Did I mention it's my new Favorite!?

Made the Mom Cry
My almost-10-year old daughter and I watched this together. At first we didn't even recognize Mandy Moore. ( Not very red-heady). While my daughter doesn't cry at movies, this was a several-tissue one for me. She kept telling me to get the whole box. Worth seeing. I liked it better than Love Story.

It's a must see for any average group of Friends
This movie is a must see. It is a great movie for a whole family to enjoy.There is a couple of swearing in the movie such as b**l sh*t and a couple of other mishaps but it doesn't put a damper on the cries, laughs and a heart of a wonderful movie

A well done movie but...
This movie was wonderful. The actors and actresses did a very good job and were well cast. However, I feel that the language was unnecessary. The movie did not need the language at all. It did not improve it at all and was very distracting. I think this movie is very good for kids my age, but younger kids should not see it.

Romance
This is one of my favorite movies. It has some questionable content, the most obvious being more than one s-word, drinking and driving, a boy bleeding from the head and some mean bullying involving done-over porno pics of an innocent girl. If you delve deeper into it, not being a kid, you get a lot more sex and other thematic elements. However, most kids won't even understand it, and I think that kids over 10 should be able to watch it.

Oh my Gosh
I LOVE THIS MOVIE! It is the best movie a kid my age could see and the parents would probably love it to. Yes a very sad movie, but it also has some humor. It was a wonderful love story and Mandy Moore (the main character, Jamie) did a great job. This is probably the best movie she has ever starred in. Oh and Shane West (also a main character) is the cutest guy I have ever seen! If u do not like either of these people, still see it. It rocks!
