We have news about an a new infidelity drama aptly titled Dear John. We get wind of this film from the divorce caves of Yahoo:
Henry Thomas, of “E.T.” fame, has joined the cast of “Dear John,” a love story based on the Nicholas Sparks novel. Lasse Hallstrom is directing for Sony’s mid-budget Screen Gems division.
The story centers on a soldier on leave (Channing Tatum) who falls for a woman (Amanda Seyfried), but then re-enlists after the September 11 attacks. Thomas plays an older man whom the woman falls for while the soldier is away.
Mowing a soldier’s grass while he’s off at war is about as un-american as you can get. This is up there with burning the flag and pissing on an apple pie left to cool in someone’s window. Such actions make the ghost of Abe Lincoln cry.
With luck this movie will end in double murder, and the soldier will flee to the woods where he will live out the rest of his days as a forlorn drifter, and friend of the deer. If the other man doesn’t get murdered for his affront to freedom – this movie hold no interest for me. I certainly don’t want this film to be a big discussion about feelings and relationship issues. If I wanted to see domestic issues, I would get a coffee at the mall and watch couples fight there.
