An engaging romantic drama

Rating: Null/10 (4 May 2010)

This film is about a pair of sweethearts in love who had the best two weeks ever, then separated by distance as the guy has to serve in the army.
"Dear John" has good plot development, the main plot is engaging but sad. Underneath the helplessness and sadness imposed upon the lovers by distance and inaccessibility, "Dear John" is such a sweet film. Amanda Seyfried and Channing Tatum deliver adequate performances, but it is Richard Jenkins who shines in the film. He plays an autistic individual who has an intense interest in coin collection. His reserved personality and awkwardness towards interpersonal communication are portrayed very well.
"Dear John" is an engaging drama. It is very romantic, and I imagine it will become a must see for young couples in the future.
