NWR: Dear John

I dragged FI to see Dear John last night. He didn't like it at all...lol But I loved it ( even though I think the book is better) It made me think how blessed I am to have such an amazing man in my life!!! (just wanted to share)

I did the same thing last night. I think there were a total of 4 men in the theater, and it was packed. I loved the movie and cried a lot!!

lol I LOVEEEE Channing Tatum from when he modeled for Abercrombie. FH can't stand him and says he's the worst actor.

Who watches him for his acting?!

Re: NWR: Dear John

Anyone comment on the difference between the book and movie???

Side note: There was a woman BAWLING in the movie theatre...like hardcore sobbing!!! I know its wrong but I couldn't help but laugh, she totally took me out of the moment!!

Re: NWR: Dear John

i saw dear john but i was kinda disappointed. They hyped it up to be as good as the notebook and i didnt think it was. I thought that the love twist was too far fetched

Re: NWR: Dear John

I agree - she was TOO involved with the other guy after she was SO in love with John. Did you read the book?

Re: NWR: Dear John

No I havent read the book cause the movie turned me off. But the sequel to The Notebook, The Wedding is supposed to be great

Re: NWR: Dear John

The book was SOOOO much better and I'm not a huge book person!! I couldn't put it down, I read it in 2 days!!

When is the Wedding coming out?

I find that 80% of the time.. the book is better than the movie. If I can help it, I read the book before I see the movie, so I don't get turned off at reading the book.

The Notebook is my favorite Nicholas Sparks book, so I may be a little biased.. but The Wedding was amazing.

I loved the book!!! I was dieing to see the movie but then I heard it s-cked so we never went. I'll probably rent it though.

I never read the Notebook but saw the movie...is the book better? Different?

Re: NWR: Dear John

I have to say, The Notebook movie vs. book is pretty comparable. This one is in the 20% category where the movie was actually awesome!

I re-read the book after I saw the movie, and actually liked it even better. I think there were a few minor differences, but nothing that sticks out in my mind.

Re: NWR: Dear John

I want to see the movie, but I think all of Nicholas Sparks books are better then their movie counterpart and there is always something different from the book to the movie, but I still want to see it!
