DEAR JOHN




Romance

PRINCIPAL CAST MEMBERS
Amanda Seyfried: 20-something-year-old college student Savannah Curtis
Scott Porter: her friend Randy
Channing Tatum: Special Forces Army Sergeant John Tyree
Richard Jenkins: John’s father
Henry Thomas: Alan’s father Tim

REVIEW
Fans of the Harlequin romance novels will love it; others probably less so. The female target audience, primarily teenage girls, will be enchanted with this story of young love tinged with some unfortunate circumstance if you believe the title.

This is a big production number with decent acting, a nice score and some fine cinemaphotography. It’s too bad it is so cliché ridden and entirely predictable.

But again, perhaps that is what some moviegoers want ?

CLASSIFICATION
for some sensuality and violence.

FOR NITPICKERS ONLY
John said he was born in 1980 and toured the United States Mint at Philadelphia to see them producing coins when he was 8. Trouble is, the coins being struck are dated 1987, a year before he got there.

Savanna has some wine during dinner with Tom. Before standing up her glass is less than half full but by the time she is on her feet it has replenished itself and now its almost right to the top.
