Dear John
Directed by Lasse Hallstrom Starring Channing Tatum,Amanda Seyfried, Richard Jenkins and Henry Thomas
By Lisa Miller 02/04/2010
The adaptation of yet another weepy Nicholas Sparks romance casts Channing Tatum as John Tyree, a US Special Forces soldier on leave when he falls hard for Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried) in scenic Charleston, SC. She’s passionate, sweet and adorable. He’s loyal to a fault and off to serve in Iraq while Savannah languishes at home. Largely told through the pair’s love letters, the film offers excellent supporting turns by Richard Jenkins as John’s socially inept father, and by Henry Thomas, who plays a single parent raising an autistic son. Determined to pluck our heart strings, Cupid aims squarely for the author’s cry-hard fans.
