Dear John (2010) rating: 7/10

The title and marketing treatment led me to think this would be a bad film. Surprise, it was tolerable. Better than that, actually I think it was good. Probably it has to do with the director Lasse Hallström (Chocolat, Cider House Rules). Wasn't a big fan of Channing Tatum before, still am not, but he's surprisingly not bad here, playing a soldier yet again.
