brilliant from start to finish

Rating: 8/10 (25 April 2010)

I couldn't disagree more with what some people have said about this movie. People tend to go in with the mind set of 'the notebook,' and therefore come out feeling disappointed as its clearly not the notebook. I wish people would give it a chance before they see the film.
Firstly, the acting was excellent. Channing Tatum was excellent as John, and his acting was very convincing, especially when the twist came. I felt his character was portrayed very well, and came across in the right light. Amanda Seyfried also was very convincing, however, i think the best acting came from the father, (i don't know who played him), as his acting was convincing and emotional. An exquisite performance.
Now, i would recommend you only seeing this film if you are a fan of other movies such as - a walk to remember, the notebook, PS i love you, etc etc. Its a classic chick flick but will really bring a tear to your eye! Its not the best of endings which does let the film down a little, but, the plot is very interesting, with twists and turns along the way.
Oh and one last thing, you get to see Channing Tatum surfing - worth paying for if you only enjoy that part!!!!
