Dear John

A heartbreaking, compelling, bittersweet, romantic film, which is written by bestselling author of The Notebook and Nights in Rodanthe, with a double entendre title in which a shy, hotheaded Special Forces soldier (Channing Tatum) falls in love with a beautiful blonde student (Amanda Seyfried), who is friendly with a struggling single father (Henry Thomas) and his autistic son (Braeden Reed/Luke Benward), while visiting his coin-collecting, Asperger's Syndrome-afflicted father (Richard Jenkins) on a two-week leave from the Army in South Carolina and the ensuing tumultuous relationship that develops when he reenlists for another tour of duty after the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001.
