This movie is exactly what you would expect it to be. It's a Nicolas Sparks adaptation. There's lots of drama, there are lots of emotions/drama, etc. etc. This one was definitely one of the less heavy ones. Neither one of the main characters died or had some disease slowly killing them like his other entries. It was a decent enough watch for a "chick" flick.
I would lukewarmly recommend people checking this out. It's not a must see by any means but it isn't awful either. It's probably the most credible acting that Zac Efron has done in his career to date.
