When North Carolina high school student Landon Carter (Shane West) takes part in a prank that goes wrong, the school principal punishes him by making him teach underprivileged kids and help out with the drama club's latest production. These tasks bring him into contact with born-again Christian Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore), and the two become firm friends, despite the taunts of Carter's buddies. But when Carter declares his love, Jamie reveals a shocking secret. (Lionsgate Home Entertainment)

As long as everyone is kind, honest, nice, and caring or vice versa, mean and deceitful, I was grinning at how nothing so black and white could be meant to be taken seriously. But as soon as the main hero gives the first reasons for sympathy, and Mandy Moore sings on stage, there is no doubt that I will find myself in this. A sweet and painful romance as it should be, with exaggerated final pathos, but also sincere tearjerker moments.

A riveting and adult film for melancholics, romantics and all those who take the phrase "true love" seriously. Brilliantly acted, brilliantly directed.

A film that has heart and doesn't play games. People change and often it's the other person's fault… She gave him everything, he gave her even more… For me, one of the best American romances and (so far) the role of a lifetime for Mandy Moore. On top of that, nice music... 5 stars.

Another romance from the great Nicholas Sparks. He's the writer responsible for "Talisman" and "Safe Haven." The boy is trying hard, and you might think you’re watching a real romance with something extra, but when you look back on it, you’ll realize you’ve just been given empty promises and nothing more. It’s a nice film that looks good and where your girlfriend - and maybe even you - might shed a tear at the end.
