this movie have the potential to be a very good movie in my eye and nicholas spark be a great romance author and this movie have every chance to be just as great a the notebook but whats set the two apart be the notebook have a dream team of lead in mcadams and gosling but here the balance be throw miserably off by the inept acting of channing tatumi felt a lot of the scene be uneven purely because of his performance and a lot of the emotion in various scene be lose because he cant act and leave an awkward and uneven situation and amanda seyfried give a great performance only to have tatum drop the ball and the mood be lose and the scene cant recover . this story deserve to be cast right and but what it get be a pretty boy who cant act . tatum should stick to what hes good at and movie that be more about his physical ability and albeit horrible and like gi joe and step up and and fight . the less he talk the good . try not to think of me a a jaded hater of channing tatum i go in to this movie with an open mind and because i have be surprise many a time by the like of adam sandler in reign over me . i give the same chance to tatum i do not view him here a the sum of his past role and purely just by his performance in this movie and which sadly be a letdown .
