Dear reader ********** I had heard conflicting reports about this film and, although not the genre I would normally plump for, I thought I would give it a try. This mission was made easier by the fact that my wife had hired it from the local library. I had patiently enjoyed the Notebook whose author, Nicholas Sparks, had ... Read the complete review

After seeing the trailer for this film I really wanted to go see it at the cinema as I used to go most weeks with my sister. But at the time it was screening in the cinemas my sister's boyfriend of four years had just joined the army. She was going through an emotional rollercoaster at the time. Now she is married to him and lives on ... Read the complete review

I had really hoped to go and see Dear John at the cinema, especially when my sister told me it had made her cry and I would love it! I do like romantic films and I cry at everything (I cried when Ellie the mammoth has a baby in Ice Age 3!!!) and so as no one would go to the cinema to see it I pre ordered it on play.com. It cost me ... Read the complete review

'Dear John' is based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook) and is directed by Lasse Hallstrom (The Cider House Rules, Chocolat). When I saw this trailer for this film, I thought it looked good, but would I will be willing to part with £7.50 to see it...? So I gave it a miss, and decided to rent it instead. Verdict... ...

Dear John.... ***Who is Nicholas Sparks*** Dear John was originally a book made into a film. The author of this book is Nicholas Sparks, also the author of in my opinion some of the most romantic films of all time - The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, A Message in a Bottle and Nights in Rodanthe. Nicholas Sparks has ... Read the complete review

As some of you might know, I'm not overly into girly movies but I watch the occasional one, and watched this film on the plane during my recent summer holiday. It had only fairly recently come out, so though it might be good to watch something new and pass some time. Channing Tatum (from Step Up, Step Up 2, Public Enemies) and ... Read the complete review

When I first saw the trailers for Dear John the movie, I knew I had to see it. Mostly, I have to admit, because of the loveliness that is Channing Tatum. Any film with him in it has to be worth a view. But it also looked like my type of film, romantic, slushy with a touch of war induced drama. Dear John is the story of John ...

I have to admit that this is one of the rare Nicholas Sparks books which I didn't read before watching the film. But the movie did bear a very strong resemblance to the overall spirit of his other work, The Notebook. This definitely is one of these profound and romantic films, and the best I've watched in a long time. In true Nicholas ... Read the complete review

note: also appears on my review site, TheFilmBlogger.com Nicholas Sparks's novels have so far transitioned rather successfully (at least financially) into unapologetically sentimental weepies, with The Notebook probably being the most tolerable of the bunch, despite still being overwhelmingly manipulative.

When invited to the cinema by my friend, Claire, I often don't have a choice in the film we see, as she doesn't 'get' the films I like. What she really means is she only likes comedies or romantic films, so my stomach lurched when she told me she wanted to go and see Dear John. Dear God was the first thought that came into my head - ... Read the complete review
