I loved the chemistry between John and Savanah. I really like the actors. The dad was a great actor. It was predictable, but I knew what I was getting before I walked in. What else can you expect? I thought the war scenes were an added touch.
Overall liked it and would recommend

I really enjoyed watching this after reading the book. I thought that Channing and Amanda did a fantastic job. I cried and cried several times. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because they changed the ending.

It was a decent movie. Not the tear jerker I had anticipated, but good for such young actors. The most touching parts of the movie I felt were between the son and his father. After the girl sent him the Dear John letter, her role seemed like an after thought and unimportant. A better movie for younger people/teens, it wasn't developed enough for an older audience.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I would recommend this movie. It wasn't my all time favorite, but had a meaningful and relevant story line. I don't agree that it was totally predictable, there was a couple of twists in there I wasn't expecting. It was much better than I thought it was going to be. I agree that Amanda Seyfried is not a good actress and is a bit plain looking- i'm dumbfounded that she somehow made it in Hollywood.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This was a great movie to take the one you love to. From being in the military in the past and meeting the love of my life while there, it was a story that was such a familiar situation to what my wife and I faced. It was as compared to the Notebook a great feel good story, and one of our favorite movies we've seen.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I thought the movie was charming however, I didn't read the book before seeing it so I don't have that to compare. I have been told there are a lot more things that happen in the book that made Savannah eventually make the decisions that she does but I did really like the upbeat ending. The acting was well done.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I thought that this movie was horrible. All the emotional values from the book were twisted and you didn't even feel their love connection in the movie. I am a big fan of the author and I was very disappointed with the outcome of this movie. There was way too many unneccersary changes that just totally ruined the movie.

I was very excited to see this movie because I had read the book, which was amazing. However, I was EXTREMELY disappointed by the movie. They completely changed most of what happens in the book and left some of the most important details completely out of it. They didnt even include the whole moral of the story at the end. It might have been a good movie to someone who hadnt read the book first, but to me it was crap. The acting was good, and Im a big fan of Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried, but the whole thing was ruined for me.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

This was a good movie, of course as in most movies filmed from a book, the book was alot better. The chemistry was good between John and Savannah but I would have liked it to be more emotional like the book. Many things different in the movie and the book, but a good movie. I would have rather seen the ending in the book as the ending in the movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I'm sorry. but this was the worst movie I have ever seen in theaters. There was no pacing. There was no climax. It was TERRIBLE. I went with a group of friends and out of 6 of us, 1 liked it. That one was a die-hard fan of Nicholas Sparks and the book.
WARNING: DO NOT. I repeat. DO NOT GO WASTE 7.5 DOLLARS TO SEE THIS MOVIE.
well that is, unless u want to watch a boring couple talk. and talk. and talk.
btw, there wasnt even that much talking!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

So i just saw this movie today and overall...was not impressed. The chemistry between the two was almost awkward and dull. The only good acting I enjoyed watching was Richard Jenkins. The plotline was slow and at some points, my eyes were getting heavy. As for Amanda Seyfried's reaction over the father's death... I couldn't help but laugh out loud. The reaction was too staged and unnatural considering how close the two were. She needed a lot more emotion to her reaction. A few tears would have been nice. Overall, this movie was another disappoint of a Nicolas Spark movie.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

First off, to everyone, -DO NOT read the critic's review!!!- He/she is dense, naive, and incapable of understanding the dual-storyline. The critic is inaccurate on the storyline and twists the plot incorrectly. While the movie is depressing in some sections, the overall message and acting is amazing and sweet.
This movie is one of the best non-comical romance movies I've seen in a long time. It takes an average guy (a guy not in a million dollar job or in a hard to believe situation) and follows the love story.
I'm a 21 year old male and I teared up at numerous points. The movie will move you and shake you. 5 Stars.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
