Movie review for “Dear John”

Dear John

They have two weeks to spend together and they fall in love amazingly fast. John is the tough type who has nothing left over for those who have previously been something of a mess.
Savannah´s figure recalls Mother Terasa, she is a nice girl who could not dream of bad behavior, she builds houses for people in need, and she is also taking care of an autistic boy.

Savannah has to go back to study, and John is going back to the army, they then begin to write together. Every week they write a letter to each other and send it to each other as a way to maintain contact and keep the love alive. But something terrible happens - 9 / 11 - and suddenly the whole world looks quite different.

John decides without hesitation, to stay in Afghanistan, even though Savannah doesn’t like it. Now the two young people are forced to love over distance.

That may sound like a great movie for teenage girls who loved romance. It is probably too, but for all others it is an extremely tedious and lengthy movie. The movie drags out, and the only reason that the film gets over one and half hours is because of all the letters you need to listen to.
Amanda Seyfreid is stable in the role of Savannah, which is more than you can say about Matthew Tatum. His facial expression is virtually nonexistent. Richard Jenkins is without question the film's bright spot as John's autistic father and good acting from his part.
