is 'dear, john' the new 'the notebooks'?

Dear John is scheduled to be launched in 2010.
yet already it captures my heart!
(i mean, how can it not with channing tatum stripping his shirt off?) i've always been a big fan of Nicholas Sparks and i adore his first movie 'The Notebook' so i have a rather high expectation on his second movie.
judging from the trailer it seems like the movie is of the same genre as his first movie (the same tears-wrecking movie that will require you to bring a box of tissues with you when you're watching them).
short to say, it will be so much better watching this movie with your girlfriend and hopefully i'll be back in indonesia when this movie is released so that i can watch it together with my girlfriends there.
but speaking of channing tatum, have you ever seen him sticking to a type of role in all those movies he was starring? he was a soccer player in 'She's The Man' with amanda bynes, a dancer in the movie 'Step Up', and then a fighter in his other movie. and now he is starring in a mellow romantic movie with Amanda Seinfield. he is just so talented in playing his roles that he looks like a different guy in every movies he was in! i love him and i really can't wait for this movie. two thumbs up for channing tatum :)
