Based on a Nicholas Sparks novel, adapted by Jamie Linden (only his second), film hopes to be another Notebook but isn't. It's a bit dull and occasionally just doesn't make sense and Amanda Seyfried doesn't have enough presence to carry it - needs an Elle Fanning or Emily Blunt or someone. Channing Tatum isn't bad, Richard Jenkins good.
Hallström teams with Terry Stacey again. There are one or two too many songs. And it may just be that I'm getting older, but that unerotic, uninteresting sex scene doesn't need to be there at all.
