One of the worst Sparksian film adaptations. I watched it with no expectations and it still let me down. I did not read the book either. I was in the mood for a romantic drama and believe me, I have seen a lot of these films. I have seen almost every Nicholas Sparks films. So, it begins. The same overused type of guy from almost every romantic drama film: tall, handsome, smart, rich, charming, never been in love (until now), player and of course, single. The girl: obviously hot, pretty, smart, playing hard to get, but irresistible. In the beginning they do not like each other, but eventually they fall truly, madly, deeply in love. The plot was extremely cheesy, but I expected that, so it did not really bother me that much. What really bothered me was the awkward acting and cringe-worthy lines. I have no idea how those actors managed to keep a straight face while delivering such awful lines. I caught myself blushing and feeling embarrassed at some point. And do not even get me started on those puppies! I almost felt offended! Did they really think the audience was so stupid? I mean, what normal person would believe that a few minutes old dogs are so big? They had their eyes open and they were newborns. Really?! And they looked like chihuahuas, even though the mother was a big dog (a Labrador or a Golden Retriever, cannot remember exactly). Oh, and the lizard scene! It was so obvious the lizard was a plastic one, like those reptile toys. They do not even try! It was a waste of time!
