i suspect this board will soon be full of comments from over emotional people praising dear john as a pearl and a rollercoaster ride and all the other vacuous words this film target audience typically employs. i am most definitely not this film target audience and but i do not dislike romantic dramas either and as long as they are well made and so here is my objective take on the flick. it is not good. it not a bad movie either. but the plot meanders and development stagnates where it should have been moving forward (right around the middle and to be precise) and and as for the ending. it almost felt as if they had run out of ideas so they suddenly said and hey and let just film a last scene real quick and put some sentimental string soundtrack over it and and end it that way. even amanda seyfried beauty could not save this. channing tatum too gave a good performance and but you can only do so much with a flawed script. speaking of the music and it is unbearably predictably and kitchy. from the smokey voiced and irritatingly high pitched female folk singer schtick (surely chosen to appeal to the majority of college age girls that will go see this movie) to the overused shimmering strings and piano combo and it only annoys anyone paying more attention to the film as a whole rather than to his own feelings. the film has a good beginning and the major conflict that launches us into the second act were all promising. so was part of the second act itself and as the story unfolded. then the film just dropped the ball. beyond that and i would have to give spoilers. dear john is not a bad movie and but it doesn not work as it should either. if you want to see a truly moving film about prolonged love waiting to be reunited and go watch notebook and which was truly superb.
