i didn't like or dislike the movie, i loved it. Dear John was an amazing movie. The way that the movie brought so many connections that you can personal relate to was amazing. The movie went into detail and made you think about things a lot more differently. Anyone would enjoy this movie, it's that good of a movie. I would see it again, many times. I loved it.

We too attended an advance screening - and we all agreed the main characters did not have believable chemistry between them..yes, it starts out somewh[BLOCKED WEBSITE]pelling, but then just drags on....all of us in the theater (sorry if I am a spoiler here) were left wondering - "what the heck?" after the last scene....which absolutely makes NO sense with respect to the story line.....save this one for a rental

It's true what they say, the book is always better than the movie! They definitely cut right to the chase in this movie and really cut out a lot of the meat that contained some real strife in the lives of the main character and his father. I was also disappointed that they completely changed the character that played Tim, his age and the part he played in the movie was very different from the book. If you just want a very sweet love story with not much else added in, then this is the movie for you! I would say it's great for young adults.

Of course you already knew that it was going to be sappy, but it was nearly devoid of any type of real connection. The director tried like heck to get the audience to identify with these two, but it always felt like you were outside looking in, like the characters had some inside joke that was never to be shared with the audience. The couple in front of me loved it, as evidenced by their make-out session, but I just couldn't wrap my mind around Savannah or John. Slow moving, one-dimensional, and forgetable. Tatum and Seyfried did well with what they had, but it just dragged and dragged for me.

A totally sappy, romantic movie that pulls in all the standard romantic tricks in the book that may be too perfect to happen in real life...But hey...Thats exactly what I simply LOVED in Dear John. The 'Moon is your size of your thumb no matter if we are separated by half the world', perfect romantic moments...For those people who find all this cheesy, please stay miles away from this one...But for the rest of us, just enjoy the 'A*** moments. The movie not only moves with the romance between the lead pairs, but also has undertones of the story of a Son's relationship with his father...Brief, but felt. The major part of the movie deals with distance and how it changes peoples feelings and perceptions no matter how strongly they feel. It shows how life and time throw up situations and how the lead pair move with them- "Time always runs out". A Romantic Movie that tugs at your heartstrings, unlike todays standard Rom-Coms.Loved it.
