Seyfried and Tatum have absolutely no credibility as a romantic couple.

Dear John is built on mawkishness and it brings everything it touches down to that level. It rubs the metaphor of coins and coin collecting so deeply into the audience face you're sure to have a welt by the time the movie's over.

Halfway through the movie, I decided a better title for this weepie contraption would be The Hurt Letter. Tatum is stolid and semi-expressive, Seyfried widens her eyes to saucer-size.

It's more Scenes from a Marriage than Dirty Dancing.

The father-son relationship stands out in this sentimental and satisfying drama.

Mawkish romantic melodrama creates no sparks.

What starts as a charming anachronism %u2014 pens, paper and the postal service in an impersonal digital age %u2014 becomes tedious as Hallstrom is reduced to interminable, repetitive montages covering the many months that the pair are apart.

You could hate it for being cynically tear-jerking... [but] it can't help itself.

Indecently exploits 9/11 and throws in autism and canver for unscrupulous measure.

A sucker for a cheap sob, it left me cold.

It's like a bad soap opera.

The biggest surprise here is Tatum, whose butch reticence has never been put to better use: His saddest farewell isn't to his lady but to a man even more uncommunicative than he is.
