Go ahead and cry. I know you'll do. coz it happened to me. Why else you read a book and see a movie based on a book by Nicholas Sparks? He is surely a great author and good at mixing his inspiration into his story. Looks like tears are always his goal.

FYI : In Mr. Sparks’s novels, of which there are now 15, impossible, star-crossed loves, often shadowed by illness and death, have an odd way of producing happy, or at least blissfully cathartic, endings. He is a master of the feel-good weepie, a form of mass-market deep-tissue massage.



"Dear John" is a story about Special Forces Army Sergeant John Tyree (Channing Tatum). He is home on a two-week leave from Germany. He meets Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried) after he dives into the ocean to retrieve Savannah's purse that had fallen off the pier. John is smitten by Savannah and falls in love at first sight. Savannah is a college student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is on spring break and is helping build a house for Habitat for Humanity. John joins in with Savannah to help build the house. Along the way a budding romance occurs, and Savannah falls deeply in love with John. As she is about to go back to college, she promises to write John overseas during the next 12-months until he returns to her after completing his enlistment. Their love is put to the test when John reenlists after the 9/11 attack.

The reasons why I was really want to watch this movie are :
- I love Nicholas Sparks' books. I have to admit that all of his stories are predictable. Just kind of a usual love story. BUT, when I read his books. I always feel like "OMG.. That is the meaning of love! True Love". It always made me cry in the end.
- Channing Tatum. I really love his acting. And also because he is SOOOO handsome. Not an ordinary handsome and sexy kind. But really really handsome!! I have watched all his movie for couple of years. My fav actors were always be him and Chad Michael Murray. ALWAYS.
