James marsden, michelle monaghan. When dawson is knocked off an oil rig after an explosion, he re-evaluates his life. Then we're in flashback, showing us how we got here. As a teenager, dawson needs to get away from his own redneck family of drug dealers. Tuck gives him a place to sleep and shows him right from wrong. Dawson gets caught up in a crime, and tells amanda to get on with her life. Years later, they are brought back together again, out of the blue, and will need to lean on each other. Sweet love story. Mostly. It has a pretty cheesy ending, which was a weird surprise. It kind of took away the sweetness of the film, but it is what it is. Directed by michael hoffman. I had seen his "last station" from a couple years earlier, and it was pretty good! Novel by nicholas sparks.
