The Longest Ride Movie Reviews
"The Longest Ride" is well worth taking!
Looking for a romantic getaway, but can't afford a trip to Paris, Hawaii, or the Poconos? How about a trip to your neighborhood movie theater to see a film based on a Nicholas Sparks novel? He has published 18 books, most of which have been romance novels and 10 of those have been adapted for the big screen. With Nicholas Sparks, you get a romantic story that takes many years to unfold. (And sometimes it's two stories for the price of one!) The romance usually involves two very different people you wouldn't normally expect to get together. Yet, one of them, usually the man (believe it or not), expresses his love in writing, also usually over a long period of time. You're likely to get to see the scenery of the great state of North Carolina, oh, and the guy is probably going to go to war at some point (World War II as often as not). And, you might even get a surprise ending at no extra charge! Just be forewarned, at least one of the main characters is probably going to die before the movie is over. (Kleenex not provided.)
