Loved this movie until... (Spoilers)


Until Dawson died and his heart went to her son. That part was a little too "like and share if you cried." Like a *beep* sob story that some 15 year old girl thought up.

So I'm just gonna act like that part didn't happen and they got back together.

Also I wish there had been more about Tuck in the movie. I didn't read the book, so I don't know if the book and movie line up well or not. But I felt like Tuck wasn't in the movie enough, and he was my favorite part of it all!

Right? It was exactly like something I dreamed up when I was a teenager. Way too sappy and overdone. I like the alternative ending a lot better.

I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves.

As soon as they said they had a heart, I knew who it came from. I needed a cry and it certainly provided it.

I could not agree more. And I decided to do the same as you. This is typical Nicholas Sparks though. His later books don't seem to believe in happy endings.

I agree,we are so romantic...

agreed that part was so over the top manipulative and ridiculous that its best to pretend it didn't happen.
