Maybe I'll have a better chance of liking the movie if I wait on reading it. And I agree, Channing Tatum is good looking, but not too good of an actor. Oh well. I love Amanda Seyfried. She is so pretty. And not a bad actor. I think she's pretty good. :)Briannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14922154305527568254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-49632226749989888022010-02-10T17:44:18.043-05:002010-02-10T17:44:18.043-05:00Oh my.

The book to movie adaption was seriously lacking but I felt the acting was pretty good. Since all the emotion comes from his side, I thought he did a good job of conveying his feelings. I was disappointed that there was not more of the letter in the movies and the thought it was better than the Notebook.

I didn't cry either, aside from his father, which really let the tears out. That is so true about the letters, they read out loud a few letters, but that was basically it! Overall, I didn't think it was terrible, I just expected a lot more out of it. Yes, The Last Song looks a LOT better, I can't wait! :)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02477278931329365877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-31767758840404662012010-02-08T15:42:26.520-05:002010-02-08T15:42:26.520-05:00I'm sad to hear you didn't like it.

When I read the book I was sadder about the relationship with John and his dad than John and Savannah, so as long as that stays true to the book then I'm happy.Adrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02311736707223598993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-34529971362637602122010-02-08T13:52:22.262-05:002010-02-08T13:52:22.262-05:00My sister saw this Saturday and then bought the bo...My sister saw this Saturday and then bought the book.

We both liked the book, so I was asking her questions and was shocked to hear how it didn't match up to the book at all?!? She appreciated the movie for Channing Tatum, and as a cute love story, but from what I understand it is not the same plot of the book in almost any aspect (except maybe for characters names).MeganRebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285116194891827858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-22795659926141252192010-02-08T10:29:10.020-05:002010-02-08T10:29:10.020-05:00Oooo I can't wait for The Last Song.
