Dear John

On the list of chick flicks, this one was near the top. I knew it would make me cry, wasn't sure why, and I was cautious as I watched it....poised for the tears. Those tears didn't come, at least not for me.

I thought the story was good and I appreciate the bit of diversity that was represented in the movie. The character development was close to none however, which is disappointing in general. As I'm sure you realize, one character is in active armed service. The way he was able to return to civilian life, even for a short while, was unrealistically amazing. I wanted more substance from each character throughout the movie.

3 1/2 stars.
