After an automobile crash, the lives of a young couple intertwine with a much older man, as he reflects back on a past love.
However contrived this tenth Sparks-to-screen becomes, the emotions and chemistry outweigh the bull.
Conventional, painfully slow and carrying some confusingly mixed messages about relationships, Tillman Jr’s film constitutes the worst kind of artificial bull.
Based on a Nicholas Sparks bestseller, this comfy tale of a young woman discovering how lovable old people are wallows in a wholesome, rosy-hued past.
Much of the dialogue here is so soppy you half suspect it must have been taken from Hallmark greetings cards.
More leisurely trot than canter.
This adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’s novel about parallel lives and loves is touching despite thick layers of schmaltz.
