Dear John

Let's look at the data on the page for this era.

Okay, so in 2010, Relativity Media releases Dear John, Amanda Seyfried and Channing Tatum.

It's a great question.

I was there.

Maybe this Nicholas Sparks guy is someone we would read and like in his film.

Like, didn't you hate Dear John back in the day with Channing Tatum?
