A movie to remember?

A walk to remember.
It strikes a million chords! It is because thousands of homo sapiens love this movie!
This is not a movie review. Frankly, I saw nothing in it!
It is highly stereotypical. 'Bad boy', Landon Carter(Shane West) meets 'good girl', Jamie Sullivan(Mandy Moore) and they fall in love, over drama rehearsals! It is done overtly, in particular,the tear-jerking parts of the storyline . Jamie's mother died when she was young.
She is made fun of, at school for owning just one sweater. As you may now know, she'a a geek. And Landon's a boy who grew up too early, being indifferent and insensitive.
Afterward, their relationship is on a dreamrun. He gets a star named after her. He metamorphoses into a caring, respectful man, full of awe.
As destiny has it, she reveals to him that she has Leukemia. There ends the candy floss! And then begins the heartwrenching part!
The lines in the movie are widely quoted. Some are cliche! "Our love is like the wind. I can't see it, but I can feel it."and "Without suffering there would be no compassion.". Some are genuine. "Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful."
All in all, not a must see movie. If you can shed some tears, watch it!
Not a great cast. The only good thing about it is the song 'Only Hope' by Mandy Moore.
It's wonderful. Great lyrics and soft melody.
Well, it might not be a movie to remember. But, it's widely pampered!
