DVD/Blu-ray Release: Dear John
Today, Alliance Films’ released the Nicholas Sparks film Dear John on DVD. Out of the two adaptations of Sparks’ books this year (The Last Song being the other), I personally liked this one better. The wonderful performance by Richard Jenkins as a man with Aspergers is worth checking out. We reviewed the film when it opened in theatres on February 5th, our consensus was:
“Dear John is a nice romantic movie to see around Valentine’s Day. While the storyline is fairly average in terms of a love story like this, Richard Jenkins’ portrayal of Aspergers’, makes this one worth seeing. It is a fine film that succeeds in what it was trying to be. *** (Out of 4)”
About the disc:
The DVD comes in a nicely textured slip-cover, and contains the following special features:
• Alternate ending
• Outtakes
• Deleted and alternate scenes
