John’s remaining military obligation was only supposed to last 12 months until the unthinkable happened: September 11.
On the other hand, if Romeo and Juliet can do it, why not John and Savannah? When John’s leave comes to an end, and Savannah must return to school, they continue their relationship through a stream of love letters.
Today’s more jaded moviegoers are unconvinced by spontaneous love that erupts in a short period of time. What follows is a very sweet love story, though some may find it quite clichéd. Savannah, who does not drink, smoke, curse, or engage in promiscuous behavior, is a refreshing change from the typical Hollywood female heroine. With only two weeks remaining until he must return to Germany, he encounters and quickly becomes enamored with college student Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried), an innocent and generous protagonist who uses her spring break to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity. John Tyree (Channing Tatum) is a young soldier on leave who visits his father in North Carolina. Unfortunately, screenplay writer Jamie Linden and director Lasse Hallström are inept at adapting Sparks’ wonderful novel to the movie screen. Despite the film’s overwhelming appeal to the young female audience, Dear John embodies the elements necessary to potentially capture the attention of all moviegoers: war, loyalty, passion, and of course, love. Nicholas Sparks’ 2006 novel Dear John came to life on the big screen February 5, drawing throngs of females to the theaters. Article audio sponsored by The John Birch Society
