      Chicago Sun-Times

      Dear John exists only to coddle the sentiments of undemanding dreamers, and plunge us into a world where the only evil is the interruption of the good.

      Chicago Tribune

      I truly wish Dear John were a better, less shamelessly manipulative movie, but a couple of the actors got me through it alive. One is Amanda Seyfried.

      The film has two curious subplots and supporting performances that feel tacked on rather than organically part of it.
