Each spring in the little port town of Beaufort, North Carolina, when the wind smells of pine and salt and the sea, Landon Carter remembers his senior year at Beaufort High and Jamie Sullivan, the girl who changed his life... Serious and conservative, Jamie is the daughter of the town's Baptist minister and not afraid of letting people know that her faith is the most important part of her life, even if it cost her some friends. After a harmless prank goes terribly wrong, Landon is forced to tutor a young student at a poor school and participate in the Drama Club's spring play - two activities the principal hopes will teach him some humility. They also happen to throw him into close contact with Jamie. Clearly in over his head, Landon is forced to ask her for help. Soon, against his own expectations, Landon finds himself falling in love with this outwardly plain girl who possesses a passion for life he never imagined possible. (official distributor synopsis)

A riveting and adult film for melancholics, romantics and all those who take the phrase "true love" seriously. Brilliantly acted, brilliantly directed.

As long as everyone is kind, honest, nice, and caring or vice versa, mean and deceitful, I grinned about the fact that it may not be meant so black and white seriously. But as soon as the main hero gives the first reasons for sympathy and Mandy Moore sings on stage, there is no doubt that I will find myself in this. A sweet and painful romance as it should be, including an exaggerated final pathos, but also sincere tearjerker moments.

Another romance from the great Nicholas Sparks. He is the writer who is responsible for the stories behind movies like "Safe Haven" or "The Lucky One". He tries, and you will think that you are watching a real romance, where there is something more, but when you think about it with some distance in time, you will realize that he just intoxicated you with a croissant and didn't offer anything extra. Just a nice film, which looks good and where your girlfriend - and maybe even you - will cry at the end.

A film that has heart and doesn't play games. People change and often it's the other person's fault… She gave him everything, he gave her even more… For me, one of the best American romances and (so far) the role of a lifetime for Mandy Moore. On top of that, nice music... 5 stars.
