The best-seller by sentimental novelist
Nicholas Sparks becomes this
teen melodrama set in a coastal North Carolina port. Cocky, popular high school student
Landon Carter (
Shane West) is the big man on campus at Beaufort High School until a hazing incident leaves a fellow student paralyzed. Sentenced to community service and membership in his school's drama club,
Landon is forced to seek help from
Jamie Sullivan (
pop singer
Mandy Moore), the conservative, religious, plain-Jane daughter of the town's Baptist minister (
Peter Coyote). When the two students begin to fall in love,
Landon struggles with the drop in popularity that his new friendship brings, while
Jamie is forced to deal with her strict father and a secret that she's keeping from her schoolmates.
A Walk to Remember, which co-stars
Daryl Hannah, is the second of
Sparks's novels to make it to the big screen after
Message in a Bottle (1999).
