Dear John

Dear John (2010) is a romantic drama from Lasse Hallström that you can watch online on iFILM. Soldier John Tyree comes home to South Carolina on a two-week leave and falls for a college student named Savannah.

Channing Tatum plays John; Amanda Seyfried plays Savannah. The romance catches fire fast — long talks on the beach, a promise to wait. Then the leave runs out, John ships back to his unit, and the fall of 2001 changes everything: he chooses to re-enlist. All the couple has left is letters across an ocean. The replies come slower and slower, until one arrives that John dreaded more than any firefight.

Adapted from the Nicholas Sparks novel by the author of The Notebook, the film gives Richard Jenkins a quiet turn as John's father, a coin collector whose habit hides far more than it lets on. A soft story about love at a distance and the weight of a promise. Stream Dear John (2010) online on iFILM.
