Dear John Trailer Online

By Rodney - October 15, 2009 - 09:40 America/Montreal

I haven’t found Channing Tatum to be all that appealing of an actor, but he has that chiselled looks that are the opposite of me, so he must be dreamy. But his new movie Dear John also stars Amanda Seyfried who I just adore, so it might be worth the watch.

Check out the trailer to see why her “Dear John” letters are about.

First Showing says:

This stars Channing Tatum, Amanda Seyfried, and Richard Jenkins, and is about two young lovers split apart by the Iraq war who keep in touch via letters. It’s an adaption of a Nicholas Sparks novel, which means lots of women are going to love it.

This will likely be a renter for me, and I am sure my wife will love it.

I saw an explosion in there somewhere. I think.

    “The Notebook” + “Atonement”

    It will do very well at the box office much to the dismay of boyfriends everywhere.

      Not me, my wife hates that shit. Hooray for a girl who likes bloody vengeance flicks.

      “The Notebook + Atonement”

      I don’t know, man. The whole point of Atonement was that it was about…atonement. That’s what set it apart. Two people being separated due to an awful mistake. The whole point of Dear John was that he was making a choice to be away from the one he loves.

      • Will the GMan says:

        Exactly dude, its like they “Notebooked” Atonement, made it a lowest common denominator tearjerker starring good looking young people.

        “Exactly dude, its like they “Notebooked” Atonement, made it a lowest common denominator tearjerker starring good looking young people.”

        First of all, you shouldn’t necessarily say, “they”, because this film is based on a novel. In fact, The Notebook and Dear John are both written by the same person!

        And like I said before, I just don’t see the correlations with Atonement.

    Jenkins is a money character-actor; Lasse Hallstrom directing … could be good people.

    Channing Tatum’s bad acting cancels out his good looks. I like Amanda Seyfried and Richard Jenkins, so they are pluses for this flick, but I doubt I’ll see it…maybe on DVD…Channing is a big black mark for me, he’s simply painful.

    I do like romantic dramas, but ones that often end tragically. LoL Atonement was super overrated and painstakingly long, but the acting was excellent. I think the last romantic drama I really enjoyed was A Very Long Engagement.

    • Jake says:

      Huh. I’ve seen a lot of movies that really grinded. Gladiator, as great a movie as it was, was probably one of them. But Atonement? How could it? The scenes are, for the most part, short and to the point, and the plot stays fresh the whole way through, not to mention a very well-constructed ending. Atonement didn’t drag, and it was a very powerful story. Overrated? That depends on what you’re looking for in a story. As for me, I found it.

    I agree with Channing being a bad actor. every movie he is in..he acts the same..and never makes an impact

    why can’t people just stop using helvetica?

  6. M says:

    Eh Channing Tatum? Plz, terrible actor. Not sure if this needed to be made.

  7. Ty says:

    aww, I’m so excited!

  8. Megan says:

    I don’t know. I’m personally a fan of all the nicholas sparks movies that have come out. and I do agree that channing has his moments where he is a kinda bad actor, but this looks like a real good movie to me =)

    Sometimes hot is just hot and Channing Tatum is HAWT. Maybe we should just think of him as the male version of Megan Fox..?
