CRITIC	RATING	QUOTE
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert	5	Dear John exists only to coddle the sentiments of undemanding dreamers, and plunge us into a world where the only evil is the interruption of the good.
E! Luke Y. Thompson	6	...for about half its running time, the story earns goodwill with believable depictions of love both found and lost. It loses all that later in the game when it patently stops being honest and starts being Hollywood.
filmcritic.com Sean O'Connell	6	...surprises with a worthy payoff.
New York Post Lou Lumenick	3	Dear John is the sort of movie that gives tearjerkers a bad name.
Slant Magazine Matthew Connolly	6	As midwinter sudsers go, you could do a lot worse than Dear John...
Onion AV Club Scott Tobias	6	The latest adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks romance looks like The Notebook with rearranged furniture.
Variety Brian Lowry	4	...a handsome Lifetime movie...
