dear john is a love movie that's perfect for teens that can handle love and relationships the movie has some mild violence also there's only one brief sex scene but only bare shoulders and backs are shown there's also some language used Adults drink beer at a beach party and wine at dinner there's several great positive message in this film for example John selflessly volunteers to re-enlist in the Army despite the fact it will keep him and Savannah away from each other and Savannah makes an enormous sacrifice to help others in need.

Ick. Both Hallie and I read the book, but it was nothing like the movie. Hallie was disgusted by the 'love scene.' I disliked the many uses of the word 's**t' and drinking.

I loved this movie becasue it show Love in all areas. Savannah and John keep in touch in every way possible, even if it maens snail mail. The love that savannah and john feel for each other is storng but when savannah gets married to tim and tells this to john both have broken hearts because Savannah love John more then she will love Tim.....all in all it is a very cute.

I read the book, and was kind of disapointed that the movie was a lot different from it. I enjoyed the plot, but knowing what "really happened" didnt allow me to fall in love wit hthe movie. I felt that the movie could've been made longer and gotten better reviews. Squishing that much information into a hour and a half was not the best move.

My 14 year old boy, athlete, cried twice. My 12 year old girl was more interested in visiting with friends during the movie.
