Most of us have a rocky relationship with Nicolas Sparks movies. They mostly all end the same, very sad with someone dead. Its like a kiddy coaster ride, its up, its down, does a little shake and then over all leaves you disappointed.
The story line is like all his other movies, there is this great and wonderful romance, there is a fight, then they make up and then someone dies.. roll credits. The bright side to Dear John I suppose is that the person you expect to die isn't the one to die.
I did find the interactions with John and other people to be interesting especially the relationship between him and his father. I also tend to like the actress Amanda Seyfried (ever since Mama Mia, its fun go see it). I didn't like the relationship between John and sevannah (Amanda Seyfried). I thought it was weak and forced in the beginning and then I just started getting bored and checking the time. My overall recommendation is rent something else, or take a nap your time will be better spent.
Dear John is the only Nicholas Sparks book I ever read. And I hated it. But I like Amanda Seyfried too since she was in Veronica Mars!!
