Love Nicholas Sparks and Josh Duhamel. Have seen all the movies by both. Was so excited to see this movie and found it to be the biggest disappointment ever. There is absolutely NO chemistry between the two main characters. The movie is so slow for the first hour and 15 minutes you wonder if you should just take a nap. The last 1/2 hour is pretty action packed and is about the only "good" part of the movie. The ending was completely ridiculous and I hated it. Julianne Hough is not a good actress. She seems so dull and boring. I never thought I'd say I hated a Nicholas SParks movie...but I am.
The movie was good, no doubt. However, I did feel that it was a lot of the battle between good/bad and it seemed to drag on a bit. Graphics were amazing and Shia was of course at his best. Good movie.
What a great movie to take your kids too! My 7 year old daughter was laughing at the crazy antics of some of the animals, ooohhhing and aaaahhhing at the adorable baby animals and just plain enjoying the movie. It was nice to go see a movie where the kids both learn and enjoy! I can't wait until next years movie!!!!
I took my 20 year old step-daughter and 6 1/2 year old daugther and we all LOVED it. The kids were cute, animals endearing, ending sweet. Great movie for the family.
