Why does the entertainment industry insist on making movies like this? Movies that put false hope and ideals into girls’ minds (and maybe even boys’ minds). “Letter #33″ Puh-leeze. In my experience I can’t even get a text message returned from the douchebags, men, boys I’ve dealt with in this terrible game called “Love”. I guess that’s the point of movies, and books, and songs…to escape. To pretend that maybe, for a second, one day, it could be like that for you, for me… for all of us.
But I know better. So enjoy the movie, cry, cheer when they end up happily- ever- after, and leave the theater with faith that you one day will have a love story like that to tell. And most importantly, take it for what its worth…entertainment.


*on a lighter note, I am however obsessed with the song at the end of the trailer. Its called Set Fire to The Third Bar by Snow Patrol. It’s old, but really good.

Dear John opens February 5th.
