Opinion :
The story isn’t unique, (neither is The Notebook) but it is executed in a way that makes you feel as though you’re watching something new. Channing Tatum is the lovable beefcake reminiscent of Marky Mark, and Amanda Seyfried is cute, delivering well executed dialogue. And I did actually think they had good chemistry, despite what other reviewers have said. Channing’s John is an army boy who had a lot of issues growing up, so you can’t expect him to be overly forthcoming with his emotions.
