Dear John - The Movie

First let me say that I am NOT a movie snob whatsoever! My dad blessed me with his love of movies. So basically, if you want to see it I'll go too.

I have a guilty pleasure for seeing books I've read on film. Even if it means I have to hurry up and read something in order to see it at the movie theatre.



So, of course I had to see Dear John on opening weekend. I was so nervous that the movie would have the same ending as the book and if so, I would be a complete mess like when I read it. Well, I was pleasantly surprised at all of the changes that they made from beginning to end. Yes, I know, most people despise when books are different as movies. I just expect it and try to rooooooll with it. Let me just say that I was so glad I rolled with this one because it was goooood!



Anybody else see it and LOVE it...or hate it??

Do you think its ok for 11 year old girls to see this??? My daughter and her friends want to see, but I am worried about the scenes?

If you'd take her to Twilight then you'll be fine. There isn't cursing that I can remeber much of but it's VERY romantic! VERY! If the gushy love stuff is her thing now and you don't mind her seeing some make out sessions, then like I said you'll be fine.

However, I don't know that I'd take my little one unless they were in High School. :)
