A Walk to Remember...

A Walk to Remember is the 2002 box office hit staring pop singer Mandy Moore who plays Jamie Sullivan and Shane West who plays Landon Carter. The movie begins with a prank that goes wrong resulting in the hospitalization of a fellow student. Landon is therefore forced to participate in the school play and tutor disadvantaged children. Jamie and Landon have known eachother for many years but it was not until Landon realizes he needs help with his lines for the play that they begin to interact with one another. There is one catch; Jamie agrees to help Landon only if he promises not to fall in love with her. Of course Landon responds with a "no problem."
Everything seems to be going well for the two; in private of course. In public, Landon humiliates Jamie. Because of his actions, Jamie and Landon stop talking. Until, however, opening night. Once Landon saw Jamie in her dress he fell in love with her and kissed her right on stage. From then on, they were inseperable.
Jamie Finally tells Landon that she has Leukemia and has stopped responding to treatments. Knowing that she only has a limited time to live, Landon begins fulfilling goals she set for herself such as being in two places at once and building a telescope. Jamie eventually dies but not before the two get married in the same chapel her deceased mother got married in. Thus, topping Jamie's wish list. Landon too becomes a better person. He sets goals for himself to achieve like getting into law school. It was not until he went to visit Jamie's father that he realized he shouldn't be sorry for not granting Jamie's wish to witness a miracle before she passed. After all, he was that miracle.
