When people saw "the Notebook", we were immediately captivated by the obvious attraction between Ally and Noah, even when they were old and gray. In Dear John, Nicholas Sparks makes another attempt to capture his audience in this romantic movie based on the book of the same name. In this movie, we follow Savannah and John: a couple who meet on a beach and find an immediate spark between them.
On break from an army contract, John rescues Savannah's beloved purse from the water and is immediately attracted to her. With Savannah returning to college in two weeks, and him returning to the army, they decide that a year apart isn't that bad. When a year turns to six years apart, their lives have gone in different directions. John continues to fight in the army, and Savannah gets married to someone else. At the end, it's a confusing moment when the audience is left to figure out if they get together or leave their past as a fond memory.
Needless to say, this movie was not what was expected. It was a romantic "chick flick" and made the audience cry several times, but the ending was incomplete and the beginning took way too long to get to a point. It's highly recommended for heartbroken women who need to find help with tears.
