have read this story a while ago i be very excited to see the movie . i read the book again . it be one of my favorite nicholas spark book . what i think what make the story be the relationship . that be the down point for me in the movie because i think the relationship be poorly express in the movie . i have no idea what the point of change main character role ( tim and alan character ) . the movie do not at all capture john and savannah relationship . maybe if you haven not read the book you might like this movie and but i think it be so dull compare to the book . i think channing be a great pick for john and but i have a feeling he be go to bring all young adult out to watch it and so i think it be more geared towards them . the end cut the whole point of the book out so i be also unhappy with that . i be hop the movie be more like the notebook or a walk to remember and the way they capture the book . i do feel like i waste a friday night out and 10 buck on a sappy love story and not at all the story i be expect to see .
