Dear John
Director Lasse Hallström and screenwriter Jamie Linden collaborates
to adapt author Nicholas Sparks’ novel about a young soldier who falls
for an idealistic college girl.
Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried) was on spring break when she first
met John Tyree (Channing Tatum), who was home on temporary leave. For
the smitten soldier it was practically love at first sight. Over the
course of the next seven years, when each deployment seemed more
treacherous than the last, the love letters that Savannah sent to John
were one of the only things that kept him going.
When in Rome
Disillusioned with romance during her whirlwind trip to Rome, an
ambitious New Yorker defiantly swipes a few magic coins from a ‘foolish’
wishing fountain, inadvertently igniting the passions of a motley crew
of suitors as she’s pursued by a handsome reporter with charm to spare.
Beth (Kristen Bell) is at a point in her life where love seems like a
luxury she just can’t afford.
Years of waiting for that perfect romance has made Beth bitter, and
one day, while vacationing in Rome, she cynically plucks a handful of
coins from a local fountain of love. Almost immediately thereafter, Beth
finds herself fending off the advances of a diminutive sausage magnate
(Danny DeVito), a lanky street magician (Jon Heder), a doting painter
(Will Arnett), and a narcissistic male model (Dax Shepard). |
