    Dear John Review

    by vaanan_kannan

    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.

    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.

  • Oh No!

    not impressed

    by alasondra

    i was really excited for this movie i thought it was going to be a really good film because the notebook was good and i was left really unimpressed. the plot was kind of depressing and i wound up getting frusturated with the characters, not because of the acting but because of the choices they made in the movie.
