...Best Excursions: The Vosges, a skiable mountain range west of Strasbourg, and the pic-turesque Black Forest in Germany are within an hour. Wine lovers might prefer the Route des Vins snaking south...
Moore, just 17, has screen appeal and poise as well. She and co-star Shane West (a regular on Once and Again) make A Walk to Remember something very close to convincing. No small feat, since Adam Shankman's film is stubbornly counterrevolutionary. In this teen pic, love is more important than sex; parents are sometimes wiser than their kids; Christian faith is to be admired, not reviled.

...This dramatic life, marked by audacious leaps and deep disappointments, great statesmanship and eventual political marginalization, is natural material for a bio-pic. Though there have been major international movies about Gandhi and Jinnah, Ambedkar has been ignored. Indian filmmaker Jabbar Patel has redressed that neglect with Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar (that's what his followers call him), an exhaustive three-hour-long English-language docu-drama, with a moving and memorable lead performance by south Indian actor Mammootty...
