DEAR JOHN
Dear John, another Nicholas Sparks adaption, depicts a soldier who, after being assigned to battle in Afghanistan, exchanges love letters with the lady who might just be his soulmate. The film follows the same premise as almost every other romantic comedy, such as The Notebook, in which two gorgeous people make doe eyes at each other and overcome hurdles on their way to true love.

THE VOW

P.S. I LOVE YOU
Gerard Butler is best known for his action roles, but P.S. I Love You demonstrated that he can also play a romantic lead when the situation requires it.
As the widow getting love letters from her late husband, Hilary Swank’s portrayal seems like it was plucked from the wrong movie, although director Richard LaGravenese captures some nice-looking location shots.

A WALK TO REMEMBER

ABOUT TIME
About Time is movie that adds time travel to the mix with fantastic effects.
In one fell swoop, writer/director Richard Curtis creates one of the best rom-coms and time travel films of the twenty-first century, anchored by two brilliant performances from actors Domhnall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams.
About Time is all about sincerity over cynicism, which is a rarity these days. It’s schmaltzy, saccharine, sentimental, and all the better for it.
THE LONGEST RIDE
Another Nicholas Sparks adaptation, The Longest Ride, was released in 2015. Scott Eastwood and Britt Robertson feature in the film.
