A Romantics POV

Rating: 8/10 (9 February 2010)

I must say that I would have to disagree with what I have read so far about this movie. I saw it on opening night and fell in love with it immediately. Tatum's character was more than likable and even though I could never imagine him falling for someone like Savannah as quickly as he did, it was charming and refreshing. And yes, it may have been a little dramatic at times but it was sweet and endearing. Finding "love at first sight" is rare, if it exists at all. But to see it on screen gives people like me, who revel in anything and everything about love, no matter how unrealistic or dramatic it may seem sometimes, hope that maybe life could play out like that. It was easy to escape into the lives of John and Savannah because they seemed so real; people I know and speak with every day remind me of them. And as quickly as it happened, it was easy to believe the two were in love. I never once thought "Oh yeah, what a line." or "Who would write something like that?". It flowed well and I was completely upset when the ending came. I wanted to know more about their lives and what would happen to them. Overall, I think this is a movie I will want to watch on rainy days. It's wonderful and heartbreaking all at the same time. And I would say definitely a must see for anyone who is as romantic as me.
