A reverend's daughter with one sweater, a rebel who needs help with his lines, and a promise not to fall in love: A Walk to Remember has been making people cry since Nicholas Sparks published it in 1999 and Mandy Moore and Shane West filmed it in 2002. These 50 questions cover both versions: Adam Shankman and screenwriter Karen Janszen, the Wilmington shoot on borrowed Dawson's Creek sets, the book's dedication to Sparks's sister Danielle, Jamie's wish list and the tattoo, the leukemia reveal, the telescope and the comet, the wedding in her mother's church, the critics who hated it and the audiences who gave it an A, the soundtrack and the Cry video, plus the novel's 1958 setting, Landon's congressman father, The Christmas Angel, the $247 in the charity jars and the ambiguous ending Sparks chose for his sister. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, and each explanation adds one more detail. Play it solo or print it for a movie night quiz.
