This 2010 movie, adapted from the very popular novel by Nicholas Sparks, starts out predictably but then takes several twists and turns. U S Special Forces Sergeant John Tyree (Channing Tatum, who later starred in Magic Mike) meets Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried of Mamma Mia and Letters to Juliet) when her purse accidentally falls in the ocean at Charleston, South Carolina, and John jumps off a pier to retrieve it. Savannah already has a boyfriend, but now it is love at first sight for John and her. The main problem: he is on leave from special assignment and she is a student at University of North Carolina. The two arrange to send letters to each other in which they will tell EVERYTHING. Also they each proclaim I'll see you soon! From here, the story deviates from what you would expect. Adding to the conflict are several supporting characters: Mr. Tyree (Richard Fenwick), John's father, is a very shy coin collector who has detached himself from life and from John. Randy (Scott Porter) is Savannah's first boyfriend, whom she dismisses as harmless. Finally Tim (Henry Thomas) is an older friend of Savannah's who is a single father raising an autistic son, Alan. In a special feature to the dvd, Lasse Hallstrom, the program designer and director, explains and shows how they were able to transfer the Charleston area into Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan, Eastern Europe, and Germany. It is a very interesting and amazing feature. Some might say this is a chick flick, but the war sequences especially remind me of the movie Brothers, which was not a chick flick. This dvd is well worth your time and payment.Read full review
i had this dvd when it was first released. I recall everyone looking for it at the stores and i purchased the last one at that time. I gave it to several of my friends but unfort. one of my friends didn't bring it back, i wanted to watch it again, so i went out and purchased it again, and needless to say, no one will be borrowing this one. It sits on my collecitons of dvds on a shelf and that is where it will stay. I would recommend this movie to anyone. People think it is a chick flick, well i know several men that watched this also and they loved it too.

This is a love story that only Nicholas Sparks can convey. It makes you laugh at times but cry at other times, You can feel the pull between the two main characters but let the war separate them. I won't give any more of the story line away, but you need to see this movie to appreciate it,

This is a fairly good movie--Tatum is an easy-to-love hero and carries the movie. Overall (with the exception of one bedroom scene) it is a squeaky clean and wholesome movie. BUT, I likely will not watch it again. The ending was a bit disappointing to me; must the competition always die in these movies? And she marries the other guy because he's sick?!? How SICK is that? Just a little bit of a strange plot, I thought. The part dealing with the guy's relationship with his dad was a sweet sub-plot that ended well.
