"DEAR JOHN" **4 Stars**



You will cherish the love you have after seeing the powerful movie "Dear John" which tells the story of John Tyree(Tatum Channing) a young soldier home on leave and Savannah Curtis(Amanda Seyfried) a beautiful young college student he falls for during spring vacation. The two make promises to build a life together but are separated by Tyree's deployments which become even more dangerous. They remain connected by a continuous stream of love letters which leads eventually to some painful decisions and sacrifices which proves to be the ultimate test to the couples relationship. This is not the classic "Dear John" situation where the one who's left at home falls in love with someone else and moves on. The young soldier makes a heroic choice which changes the course of their lives.
Henry Thomas ("E T") is almost unrecognizable since he's all grown up. He's the longtime family friend and neighbor of Savanna. His character is a single father raising an autistic son who's in denial about his wife's leaving him.
"Dear John" is a story about unselfish love and the sacrifices lovers are often forced to make.
Seyfried is passionate and refreshing as a young college student who's found what could be the love of her life. Channing shows depth and maturity as a young man who's had anger management issues but found stability and direction through serving his country. You will be amazed at the sacrifices this young couple makes but you'll be inspired by the depth of their love for each other..."Dear John" touches your heart!

Rating: (4 Stars)
