Dear John - 2 1/2 stars out of 5 stars

I am NOT a Channing Tatum fan and his portrayal of John Tyree a soldier,may be his best work.This is a confusing movie that was released in 2010 and runs 108 minutes and I give it my lowest YET ok to see rating of 50-50  or 2 1/2 stars for that reason.Yes it's a "Dear John"letter in the traditional sense but there's a father son issue,and woman with 2 loves issue,a soldiers story and more.Too ambitious for one movie.The trailer follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.By the way,Amanda Seyfried not only did a fine job of playing Savannah Curtis in the film but also sang "little house"on the movies soundtrack.I'm a fan of her's now.

While John is on leave in his hometown, he finds Savannah, a college student visiting the town. Although love was unexpected, it doesn't mean they didn't find it. With the knowledge of John having to leave for the army, their love still lives, until his re-signs on due to the 9/11 attack. Troubles invade and their love put on hold. One cannot bear it anymore; can the other? Written by Fiona Anderson
