Amanda Seyfried is a world-class crier, Channing Tatum has a magnificent body, and everyone has seen The Notebook. And yet I have mixed feelings about Dear John, the upcoming adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks book of the same name:
I just can’t get excited about this, and I like a good cry. Is this moistening your hankies, PopWatchers, or are you writing “no thanks” to Dear John?

Channing Tatum is an awful actor, and he’s not particularly hot.
So for me, this is definitely a pass.
He is the 21st century Mark Walberg! They have the same vocal patterns, movements, etc. It’s like Channing studied Mark Walberg’s acting style.
What your telling me is that he is a good actor then.
he screwed up g.i.joe!
I absolutely hate Channing Tatum in every movie he’s been in, but Dear John looks very redeeming. He gets to flex those acting muscles instead of those action muscles, and I really hope he doesn’t disappoint in this movie.
I think it looks good and perhaps it’s finally Channing Tatum’s time to shine. Besides, it’s got Richard Jenkins in it. Have you seen him in The Visitor – he was fantastic!
I thought you meant the old TV show Dear John with Judd Hirsch
Channing Tatum is a pretty god awful actor, who somehow got significantly less pretty after his modeling days.
Ok, thank you Cookie, I’m glad someone agrees. When I first saw him I remember thinking he was smoking and than at some point I was like…why is he not hot anymore?
I presume you are both blind (apologies to the blind you know better). That guy is HOT as hell (back in the day and now (we watching the same trailer)) and the movie will be massive hit.
Of course, Channing Tatum is enough to sell the movie – gosh any movie (keep them coming). Why do you think he is getting the best roles in Hollywood and not just for his looks?
No worries this movie will be a worldwide box office no 1 (even I can see this will be great and I don’t usually go for this stuff).
Hell, she fell in luv with him after 2 weeks; I just did after the trailer imagine what his true fans would think?
After seeing the trailer, I am looking forward to seeing the other main characters especially his relationship with his dad and not just about the girl. Whether you luv the guy or hate him, you will be watching this even if it’s kicking and screaming by your partners so just get ready to be surprised as you might actually enjoy it secretly.
I hate when people go on about his acting (so boring now and he can ACT), as there is nothing wrong with his performances everyone learns with each role.
So basically, whether the haters like it or not (just a trailer) even the haters watch sooner or later otherwise, what the hell will YOU be commenting on, YOU must at least see his films first to judge right even the new ones?
Hey, there has been a lot of romantic movies lately and from what I can see from this trailer it looks better then most recent ones, let’s just wait and see.
I’d nextflix it… not a theatre movie, but probably worth watching.
I like both actors well enough, but Nicholas Sparks crap makes me want to puke.
I was more interested on knowing who’s dueting on the song playing over the final seconds of the trailer.
Nate – The song is “Set the Fire to the third bar” by Snow Patrol, and someone else who features on the song, name escapes me.
“Paper Weight” Schuyler Fisk
its snow patrol and martha wainwright
Dear John was a wonderful book and Amanda Seyfried and Channing Tatum I think are perfect for the roles! The book was a heartbreaker and I get the chills just watching the previews, I cannot wait!
ya’ll are so mean and disrespectful. id like to see you play the roles better. if u have nothing nice to say dont say it at all.
Channing Tatum? More like Channing Who-Gives-A-Shit-Um, am I right?
Your very wrong.
Your very right!!!! lmao
I’ll see it because Nicholas Sparks is amazing and the film adaptations of his books are usually great (I usually hate movies based on books b/c they always f em up). I’m pretty much indifferent about the actors. They’re not favorites, but they aren’t terrible.
For the love of god, no more Nicholas Sparks adaptations please! And no more cliche wartime romance stories. My poor cinephile heart can’t take it anymore.
So, I don’t really think that Channing Tatum is a great actor, but I honestly think that he would be able to portray the book’s character decently. Dear John wasn’t my favorite Nicholas Sparks book, but I think that his demeanor is very similar to the book’s version of John…
i think it’ll be GREAT! i read the book before they made the movie and i pictured Channing as John. when i found out he was chosen, i was soooo happpyyyyy
Anything with Amanda Seyfried is an immediate must-see. The girl can act the crap out of anything given to her. Comedy (Mean Girls)? Drama (Big Love)? Meryl Streep Musicals (Mamma Mia)? Indie UPN Hits (Veronica Mars)? I adore this kid. Why isn’t she more famous?
I don’t know what you all are talking about…did you not see those abs? Channing is looking as good as ever! I love Amanda Seyfried – I will definitely be seeing this in the theatre, tissues in hand.
I liked it. I can definitely see myself watching this when it’s on ABC Family or TNT, don’t think I would netflix it tho.
omg channing tatum is the best i LOVE him!! he’s hot and a brilliant actor cant wait till february sooo watching…but you should go into theatres 14 feb not 5th cuz that way it would be on valentines day n although this is reli sad it would be perfect
how can some of ur comments say he is not hot he is the fittist guy in the world!!!!!!! and a great actor. he is the most nice guy ever and he made gijoe i wudnt av gon to see it if he wasnt in it!
some of you are f**ing idiots leave him alone!
Luckily the character John doesn’t externalize his depth in the book…greater potential that Channing Tatum will be able to pull off this part. Hope its a good adaption, as this is one of my favorite Nicholas Sparks novels!
Can this guy bbbbbbeeeeee any hotter?? Everytime Channing Tatum started crying it nearly started me off.
This trailer is great and yes, I am surprised. I’m really looking forward to this now.
Dear John wasn’t my favorite Sparks book (but his latest books just aren’t as good as the older ones). But I do think Channing is a great fit for that character. And the director has done some good stuff. So maybe the movie will be better than the book – a rarity.
After reading the book I think channing and amanda are perfect in this movie
I have read Dear John several times,and I think Channing will do fantastic. This is baiscally one of his first starring roles as the lead actor so I am so excited to see him. And Channing, from the trailer looks great. Since Dear John is by far my favorite Nicholas Sparks novel, I am hoping and praying this is one of my favorite movies. The trailer already has me bawling,so I know the actual movie will. I will def. be one of the first ones in the theatre. And another note, Channing and Amanda already look like they have insane chemistry and that’s just the first trailer! *sighs*
i think, Channing Tatum, or any actor for that reason, needs to be given a chance. i mean, actors did not become good or excellent the first time they made a movie. it takes a lot of movies to them to grow better as an actor… XD
Dear John is my favorite Nicholas Sparks book and I just can’t wait to see the movie. I actually think Channing Tatum is a good fit for the character. I just totally buy him being a soldier for some reason… He was really good in stop-loss IMO. I was disappointed by Amanda Seyfried being cast as Savannah at first because I just hated her in Veronica Mars, but both Mamma Mia and the Dear John trailer have reassured me a bit…
I don’t know whether I’ll like the movie or not but I’ll definitely go see it the day it comes out!
Channing tatum is like a god…. Amanda Seyfried on the other hand shouldnt have been casted as savannah… if you read the book she is burnette and… she just doesnt fit the part
