Fulfills its mission, which is to be a crowd-pleasing tearjerker.

The film, while heartfelt and directed by multiple-Oscar nominee Lasse Hallstrom, is dramatically stillborn.

Variety
Ultimately, the story feels as if it's killing time before throwing the next hurdle at the couple.

Dear John exists only to coddle the sentiments of undemanding dreamers, and plunge us into a world where the only evil is the interruption of the good.

Chicago Tribune
I truly wish Dear John were a better, less shamelessly manipulative movie, but a couple of the actors got me through it alive. One is Amanda Seyfried.
