4.0 out of 5 stars Men, Take Two For The Team, June 5, 2010

This review is from: A Walk to Remember/Pay It Forward (DVD)

I am a 24-year-old guy. I doubt these movies were designed with me in mind. Not that guys can't enjoy chick flicks, or whatever the politically-correct term is for movies that women tend to enjoy more than men. But "A Walk To Remember" and "Pay It Forward" want you to cry, and they want you to CRY HARD!

Sometimes to get emotional, we gotta let a movie manipulate us a little. Not too much, but a little nudge in the soft direction ain't too bad. I once read that, "We are who we bring with us to the movie, and all we can do is describe what happened to us when we left."

Well, "A Walk To Remember" was a charming little romance with a little cheese on the side. I found "Pay It Forward" to be a little too much in its final stretch, but you can't deny its sadness.

"A Walk To Remember" is the story of how a troublemaking teenager is forced to help students with learning disabilities as a discipline. Soon, he meets another tutor, a pastor's daughter. The two begin have a kind but dismissive relationship, until eventually the two start developing feelings for one another. I won't spoil what sad event causes the whole movie to take a turn, but it's a romantic movie, and appropriate for families too.

"Pay It Forward" takes a much darker angle to stir our emotions. The main plot portrays how a young student --- for a class assignment --- comes up with an idea to make the world a nicer place. He suggests that if 1 person did 3 good deeds, and then the people they helped did 3 more of their own, it could change the world. While this is an optimistic message (and a meaningful one), "Pay It Forward" takes some intense turns. Almost everyone in the movie is a victim of some sort of abuse or misfortune. Several fathers are revealed as disturbingly violent, a couple mothers are absent, a teacher is disfigured, and one poor kid is constantly bullied to the point of being murdered. Kinda heavy stuff. The movie has a positive message, but it saddens the hell out of you before it gets there. The performances are terrific, but I think most will feel uneasy or toyed with rather than inspired.

I recommend getting this double-pack because "A Walk To Remember" is a good, solid movie. But if you want another tear-jerker, "Pay It Forward" will give it to you, whether you want it to or not.

I purchased a Walk to Remember to show my students at the detention center at which I teach. The girls are 12-17 yrs. of age and incarcerated, receiving their education daily at the center. They were riveted to the movie and could identify with the characters. I highly recommend the movie for teen girls. It fit right into what I was teaching them in Life Skills class about a person's ability to change at any age.

I received the product very quickly. The packaging looked questionable...thin plastic that read "product of mexico." The sound is horrible. It's choppy and you can't make out a lot of the words. Basically, you can't watch the movie.
