Dear John

Better than I thought it would be. Amanda Seyfried (Mama Mia) falls in love with soldier Channing Tatum (Public Enemies), and endures a long distance relationship. Thankfully, the previews did not give away the entire story. If you are familiar with Nicholas Sparks’ formula of folks falling in love in short period of time, then becoming separated by noble circumstances with the promise of getting back together, and the inevitable ending (I won’t say it if you don’t already know – but it’s been the same in all his movie adaptions), you’ll be surprised that this film ends a little differently. I only sniffled a couple of times – which means that most normal people probably won’t sniffle at all. A decent love story.
