Another one from romance specialist Nicholas sparks,this one however does not compare to its predecessors 'A Walk to Remember', 'Nights in Rodante' and most notably 'The Notebook'. While it must have made for a great read, the movie falls flat with its story line. John Tyree (Channing) a soldier on leave and Savannah (Seygfreid)college student meet over spring break at the beach and quickly fall in love in two weeks (eyes rolling). Break is over and the two part, promising to write each other everyday for the 12 month duration of his army contract and this begins a deep romance between the two. Then 9/11 happens and John finds himself unwillingly enlisting for another 3 yrs or however long causing great pain as Savannah is forced to come to terms with a huge time apart from John. While they both did well in their individual roles the chemistry between them was non existent. And the twist and ending was so ridiculous and abrupt, leaving one movie goer to ask loudly "WHAT THE F#*K WAS THAT" I give it 2 juicy mangoes, it was bad, had a lot potential but it was bad.
