Decent but a disappointment for all women

Rating: 6/10 (16 February 2010)

OK so as much as i hate to ruin the fantasies of all the women that are going out to watch this movie, i have to say it's going to lead u to disappointment. Unfortunately the writers and director were not able to demonstrate the true core of the love story and it needed to be much further developed. As is evident by the movie trailer, this is a sad love story as many of Nicholas Sparks' stories are, and should've made female fans across the globe cry and did not do its job. It was difficult to grasp the emotion the characters portrayed because there was hardly any chemistry among the two leads. Though Channing Tatum is a surprising choice for the male lead in such a huge romantic story, the true letdown was Amanda Seyfried. She's supposed to be a complex, and torn character and really didn't do portray her emotion well enough. Overall, i'd caution everyone to wait until the movie is out for rent.
