Details: Product Description It was two weeks that would change their lives forever. Soon after John (Channing Tatum - Public Enemies, GI Joe) and Savannah (Amanda Seyfried - Mamma Mia, TV's Big Love) fall madly in love, their relationship is put on hold. With one leaving to complete his service, and the other to complete his college education, they pass the time by exchanging a continuous stream of love letters, until they can be reunited permanently a year later. But when war breaks out, their separation is extended indefinitely. Will their relationship survive the greatest test of all: the test of time? Based on the bestselling novel from the author of The Notebook, Dear John is a timeless romance that will warm your heart. -------------- When John Tyree, a soldier on leave, and Savannah Curtis, an idealistic student, meet on a beach, it's love at first sight. Although they belong to two different worlds, an absolute passion brings them together for two weeks. John then goes back on a mission and Savannah returns to college, but through their fiery letters, their love only grows... Amazon.ca Dear John brings together a totally believable and charming cast--the lovely Amanda Seyfried and Channing Tatum--with a tried-and-true romantic plot that will have a new generation of movie fans and lovers reaching for their hankies. Director Lasse Hallström ( The Cider House Rules, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, My Life as a Dog) again proves his deft handling of young actors portraying feelings and emotions far beyond their years. His direction, along with the stellar performances of the cast, will have Dear John lingering in the memory long after viewing. Tatum plays a soldier home on leave (the John of the title), when he meets Savannah (Seyfried), a college student. The two may not have been looking for love, but love finds them anyway. Then the September 11 attacks happen, and John is torn between love for Savannah and duty to country. Because this is an adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel, there will be drama and heartbreak, and Dear John doesn't tread lightly in this emotional battlefield. But there's a delicacy in the performances, especially Seyfried's, which transcends the almost-cookie-cutter character outlines given to the actors. Also worthy of mention are supporting cast members Richard Jenkins (as John's quiet, autistic dad) and Henry Thomas (as Tim, a single dad who goes to nearly impossible lengths to avoid breaking the heart of his son). See Dear John with an open heart, and know that he will be deeply touched. -- AT Hurley
