Rating: 5 stars
“It’s 8 seconds. That’s all
it is. That girl could be the rest of your life.”
Nicholas Sparks. Mostly
known for writing books now turned movies, The Notebook and A Walk To
Remember. With 17 books in which 10 have been made into blockbuster movies
and recently adding to that list of movies, The Longest Ride starring
Scott Eastwood and Britt Robertson.
IMDB Movie Description:
Former bull-riding champion
Luke (Scott Eastwood) and college student Sophia (Britt Robertson) are in love,
but conflicting paths and ideals threaten to tear them apart: Luke hopes to
make a comeback on the rodeo circuit, and Sophia is about to embark on her
dream job in New York's art world. As the couple ponder their romantic future,
they find inspiration in Ira (Alan Alda), an elderly man whose decades-long
romance with his beloved wife withstood the test of time.
My Review:
The character development
in The Longest Ride was incredible to watch and the casting for Luke and Sophia
was absolutely spot on! Scott Eastwood shirtless though…WOW.
The story of Ira and his
wife brought tears to my eyes as you could truly see a connection between the
two couples featured in the film.
Nicholas Sparks has yet
again astounded me by teaming up with director, George Tillman Jr to bring this
beautiful and captivating story to life.
This movie is a definite
must see for those who are a fan of Nicholas Sparks’ work or those of you who
enjoy an enchanting love story.
