Dear John

Here's some awesome opinions I have based on that ole DEAR JOHN movie.

It was ok. Actually, I liked it. Except Channing Tatum has the personality of wet cardboard. He was more like Dear YAWN. He's not exactly a barrel of laughs. GREAT actor too (see the picture). ha! If Amanda Seyfried's character liked him because of his personality, then she would LOVE me, because I'm slightly more interesting than cardboard. However, I am led to believe that she liked him mostly because he's in the Army and could die at any moment. Girls like guys that could potentially die heroically.

I would be inclined to say that she only liked him for his muscles, but I don't remember him ever taking off his shirt. Then again, I might have just blocked it out because my mind has very little space left and I'm not going to waste what space is left on dudes taking off parts of their clothes. I have no need for that. So forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think he kept his shirt on the whole time, which I think is suspicious. Pretty sure he's hiding something. Now what's he hiding? i don't know. Maybe he's part robot. Maybe he's preggers. Maybe he has a tattoo of Big Bird on his abs. Not sure, but something is certainly fishy.
 Anwyay, back to my awesome critique of the movie. I was amazed at how similar it is to The Notebook. It's pretty much the same story! Watch those movies back-to-back and clearly you will see how insanely similar they are!  Writing letters is nice and all, but seriously, you're probably gonna need a leetle bit more than that to sustain a relationship. So nice try.
I was a bit confused by her last letter. She said something like "I just love you TOO much. That's why i had to marry someone else." what?!??! In what world does that make sense? Maybe in the world of preteen girls, i guess.
     However, despite everything, I still came out wanting to punch Amanda Seyfried square in the kisser! And that's a good sign, because it means the movie made me feel. I love movies that made me feel. That's what a good movie does. You should be stirred in one direction or another. I felt vindicated when she was mean to him. Yet, I still liked her because she was still a sweetheart, but I was mad at her. I was hoping the movie would end with her face exploding, but it didn't. Not sure how I feel about the ending. She doesn't deserve him. Which, in my opinion, the whole movie is really about grace. I think that's the one thing I took away from it. Watch it, it's clearly about grace. The character of Tim blew my mind. THAT dude was super gracious and HE is the kind of guy I want to be. Though a flawed man, he continually showed grace. That was awesome.
  So probably the best thing I got from the movie was that example of grace. The second best thing I got was "Paperweight" by Josh Radin & Schuyler Fisk. whoa. LOVE that song. Tell me that sucka doesn't make you feel! awesome. I. LOVE. it. I think it was originally made for that Zach Braff abomination The Last Kiss, but since no one saw it, and those that did are brain damaged enough from having seen it that they've forgotten it, they recycled for the delightful Dear John. a perfect, lovely song.

   Also, I'm glad that Amanda Seyfried has found tremendous success since the days of Veronica Mars, but she does NOT look like Sara. sorry. She doesn't.

  So there's my opinion about a movie that I saw one time.
