A Series of Sappy Events

Watched "Dear John (2010)" last week at a midnight screening just because it was free and I had nothing better to do. How wrong I was. I absolutely had better things to do than sit through this absurd, plotless, meandering joke of a film. Having seen and enjoyed one other Nicholas Spark adaptation, I expected to be entertained at the very least. And I was, but only by the comments my friends and I shouted at the screen. Literally nothing happens in this movie. There are four hundred little conflicts that are as resolved as quickly as they appear, and a million loose ends that no one bothers to tie up. The acting is boring and totally uninspired (except for that of Richard Jenkins), allowing for characters that are purely surface.

Verdict: So unStoked, it's unreasonable. Do not go see this movie. Don't even see this movie to laugh at it. It is a boring, insulting, and trite movie that a friend could only describe as "A series of Sappy events." Fuck "Dear John" and protest the fact that all of his other books are going to get optioned because it took the number one spot over "Avatar (2009)" after two months. God dammit.
