Everything is going as planned when the unthinkable happens.
He convinces her to wait for him and they begin sending letters back and forth, which only brings them closer as a couple while Savannah is keeping an eye on his Father at home.
Savannah is concerned about starting such a serious relationship with someone who was is in the Armed Services and is about to ship out except John will be done with his obligations to the Army in eleventh months and is planning to come home to be with her. This upsets John but after much thought realizes that it might be true. Savannah's family friend, Tim (Henry Thomas), has an autistic child and Savannah thinks that she recognizes these symptoms in Mr. His Father has a hard time communicating with people and spends most of his time cooking lasagna and collecting coins. John is staying with his Father, for whom he has a difficult relationship with. The two quickly fall in love and spend all their time together. He's surfing when he meets Savannah, played with heart by Seyfired, a College student home for spring break. The film begins by introducing us to John Tyree (Tatum), a Special Forces solider home for leave. The film is filled with tender moments and tells a fascinating story that anyone can relate to on any level. The other themes of the film also work well but it is the Father and Son story that resonated with me the most.
In fact he practically steals every scene he's in with his quiet and understated performance. Oscar Nominated actor Richard Jenkins ("The Visitor") gives a brilliant performance as Tatum's autistic Father. The films stars, Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried are both captivating in their roles and share an obvious on-screen chemistry. However, this movie is so much more than just a "chick-flick," it's also a Father and Son story and the film deals with difficult subjects like autism, cancer, war and 911 with class and grace. If you loved "The Notebook," "A Walk To remember" or "Nights In Rodanthe" then you'll really love this! But what really impressed me is that this film is so much more than just a love story or a so-called "chick flick." I'll be the first to admit that I didn't think I would like this film, as it usually isn't my type of thing. Fans of the film versions of author Nicholas Sparks popular novels will be extremely pleased with this latest adaptation.
