I, like many people, waited months for the release of Dear John. I was very excited about this movie. I love Nicolas Sparks books and movies. I did not read this book so I thought since I had nothing to compare to it I would love it. I have to say it was quite the opposite. The relationship in the beginning was rushed and I didn't believe it. And the ending sucked. I was so dissappointed. I will say channing tatum was wonderful but that was the only good part.
