not that great of a love story

Rating: 5/10 (19 September 2010)

The best part of this movie was Richard Jennings, playing John's autistic dad. He was the best actor in this and gave emotion to the film. Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried are not that good of actors and the chemistry was not there. I just don't call a movie with the actors reading letters out lead as being that much of a love story. The best parts were the dad telling Savannah about his coin collection. And after what Savannah did to John with just breaking up with him like that, I don't think John would ever get back with her. It just portrayed her as being cruel and insensitive. Also, in a small town like that, how could she not know that John's father had died.
FINAL VERDICT: Just not that well written nor acted. The Notebook was much better. I don't recommend this one.
