Dear Miley: Dear John Is Going To Own You! (Or So They Think!)

Filed under: Film Flickers > Miley Cyrus

nicksparksmovies.jpg

We assume a lot of you ladies will be dragging your significant others for a little boo-hoo time at the movie, Dear John this weekend. Remember your Kleenex!

Unfortunately, this is just the first of two sappy love stories to come out of the Nicolas Sparks collection. The Last Song, starring Miley Cyrus, is coming out at the end of March.

So which will do better? Let's ask the stars!

When Amanda Seyfried and Channing Tatum were asked what would have happened if the movies had opened on the same weekend, Amanda gave an awesome answer:

"If The Last Song was coming out the same weekend as Dear John, we'd have to collaborate on some sort of sabotage mission."

Yes! Amazing!

Course, it would have been futile. We're fairly certain that her flick will do mildly better with the tween population on her side.

But which do U think will do better?

Update: Dear John is doing pretty darn well!

    1. 1

      Dear John is a better movie but all of miley cyrus's fans are gonna
      go watch the Last Song so they will both do pretty good



    2. 2

      Cant wait for the last song!!



    3. 3

      i think that the movie dear john will end up being the better movie, because lets face it. it has more talent in that movie.
      BUT. i believe that the last song will be more popular with all the crazy miley fans. so the box office will proibably show the last song being bigger,
      but i'd like to think about what the better movie is. just saw dear john lastnight, good movie. and your right, remember tissues!



    4. 4

      they are both going to flop



    5. 5

      Oh PLEASE make Dear John more successful so we can put an end to ALL things Miley!



    6. 6

      Dear John used to be my favorite book from Nicholas Sparks, but after reading The Last Song, which I bought yesterday, I think I prefer that one! The story in The Last Song is so much better, I never cried that much while reading a book. Although, I don't think Miley is the right person to do Ronnie. I don't picture her the way the character is in the book. But, I'm still looking forward to seen it, even though I think Dear John will be a much better movie!



    7. 7

      i read both books and i preferred the last song over dear john. however, i wouldn't count dear john out just yet because there hasn't been a good chick flick out lately (when in rome doesn't count) and so i feel like it could really do well. however, i am excited to see both and there is no competition as they are both nicholas sparks novels so i win because i love them both!



    8. 8

      I'm looking forward to both regardless of who is acting in them, as they are both great books, just hope the gilm versions are as, for both.
      I don't think people should blow off The Last Song just cos of Miley, until they've seen it and I heard it got good reviews from critics too.



    9. 9

      Both look so awful!! I will proudly see neither shitfest.



    10. 10

      dear john ftw



    11. 11

      What's wrong with Miley's face in that picture!?



    12. 12

      I cant wait for the last song! It looks epic and so many critics have said hey cannot belive how great Miley did in it:)



    13. 13

      Dear John might be a better movie than Last Song, but LS will probably dominate in the box office because of all the little squealing tweens wanting to see a "Hannah Montana" movie. Also, whenever I hear the name of Miley's movie all I can think of is Gackt's song.



    14. 14

      The Last Song was the better book. for sure. but idk about the movie



    15. 15

      i can't believe nickolas sparks of all authors wrote such a boring and predictable story(the last song). like i haven't read those a bunch of times. The last song will probably flop because of it's boring story line. Teens don't really read nicolas sparks novels, so if they go to see the movie it's just because of miley. Dear john is much better.



    16. 16

      Dear John will obviously be better. But like a person up there said, Miley has tons of fans so the last song will make a bunch of money.



    17. 17

      The lesser evil here is "Dear John", just because the two stars are far more likable than Miley, easily. "Last Song" has big competition when it releases, but considering the big opening that "John" is having, they'll both be pretty close.

      Re: cherricola – That's a terrible fucking poster for "The Last Song", isn't it? Jeez.



    18. 18

      I think they both look AWFUL, but the Miley one is probably gonna do better. (I would think)



    19. 19

      Why is Miley POUTING in the poster? Isn't that supposed to be a SAD movie? It's funny how most of the Disney stars define acting as 'I'm gonna try my best to look cute in front of the camera'. Razzie, you've got a victim!
      *
      On the other hand, Dear John has two of my fave actors. I'm so going to watch =)



    20. 20

      I hate when stupid people say that Dear Johhn is better then The Last Song !!

      you didn't even see The Last Song !! how can u judge btwn them ?

      I saw Dear John, it was really sad, great movie, but I think The Last Song will be as good as dear john, or even better, I can't really say, cuz like you, i didn't see it yet



    21. 21

      i can't wait for the last song!!



    22. 22

      Dear John! It appeals to a much wider audience, all ages



    23. 23

      Re: gurly13 – I just want you to know that The Last Song was SPECIFICALLY written for MILEY, she always has been a huge fan of Sparks' novels, and asked him to write her a MOVIE, and since ur a Sparks fan, u should have known that !

      + the movie's script was written BEFORE the actual book ! Nicholas was inspired by MILEY to invent the story, in fact, Miley was the one who choose the character's name Ronnie (its a tribute to her grandfather named Ron)

      so if u like the story so much, its partially thanks to Miley.. now stop saying that Miley is not the right person to play this, cuz if she never existed, u would've never read the book anyway..



    24. 24

      Oh goodness. They both sound awful but lets hope that "Dear John" does better. I am shocked that someone actually hired Miley to act in a film.



    25. 25

      Personally I prefer Amanda, but I love his books so will be seeing both regardless of who is in which movie.



    26. 26

      Both of the books are great, but the last song is better. Im thinking the movie will be great also…I saw Dear John and it was a really good movie(with a better ending than the book). And like everyone said, Mileys fans will go see it because shes in it.



    27. 27

      Re: Lunatic.me – who cares about your opinion anyway ? who cares about a flying and superficial opinion, the only thing u could comment on, was her "look" uummm… yeah its a very deep, smart and thoughtful opinion

      how old are you… ? 7yo ? -_-'



    28. 28

      DEAR JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Amanda & Channing :D



    29. 29

      For those of you who said youre excited to see Dear John after reading the book, my friends who read the book said the movie is nothing like it. Just a heads up. Still a good movie though.



    30. 30

      unfortunately, i think Last Song will do better. despite the fact that Dear John is most definitely way better; less of a cliche, emotional, not another chick flick, and well..channing tatum [:



    31. 31

      Re: cherricola – Seriously! That was the first thing that popped into my head when seeing this.

      Re: cherricola – That's her sexy!



    34. 34

      Re: sayswho – I don't like Miley either but lets face it, Miley is going to be around for a long time. Unless she suddenly decides to quit singing/acting and everything else she's doing and then disappear.



    35. 35

      I saw Dear John last night. I did not like it at all. It made NO sense at all that she married that guy….no sense at all!! We went from romantic letters and promises to her just dropping him. Why couldnt she just help the guy with the kid??? Why would she throw away the love of her life??? It just made no sense at all…. :(



    36. 36

      i ahte dear john and hat ethis kind of movies but dear john dint touch my heart!



    37. 37

      I cried when I read The Last Song is a beautiful story.



    38. 38

      Re: fan4lyf – Love Miely and all but somehow I can´t believe that! I wish the best for The last song tho.



    39. 39

      Re: cyclefreak – arggggghhh Thank you so much!!



    40. 40

      dear john was okk…..channing looked bangin



    41. 41

      I just saw Dear John today and it wasn't even HALF as good as the trailer made it out to be. Watching the little clips of the Last Song, it looks REALLY good. The book is amazing also. I think the Last Song will do a lot better



    42. 42

      Oh Perez, you silly queen. Nicholas Sparks is a wonderful author, althought I doubt you know anything other than trashy books like the ones you write. I have no doubt that both films, even the one w/ Miley Cyrus, will do well…just like The Notebook.



    43. 43

      i want to see both REALLY bad. but for some odd reason, i feel like all the hype about "dear john" is making it seem better then what its really going to be :/
      & im reading "the last song" n its a really good book!



    44. 44

      STOP HATING ON MILEY - LISTEN TO; THE CLIMB



    45. 45

      Here is my take. I believe that Dear John will sell more for the simple fact of it speaks to all of the military wives. Yes miley has all of her little teeny bopper fans out there but Dear John hits the hearts of all the military wives who husbands are deployed. I live in a military town and know many military wives, they are all planning on seeing the movie because they are able to emotionally connect to the story line. And it has Channing Tatum in it…need I say more. He is doing great as an actor. He has built a reputation for great movies. I honestly think Miley is a joke. She cant sing, she cant act. She is horrid. She cant connect to an audience her own age. She thinks that she is more talented than she really is, and for that i feel sad for her. Most of her fans still havent even hit puberity yet. The only reason why it might sell more is because her fans will need their parents to take them to the movie.



    46. 46

      I don't know, Dear John has so much hype and basically every girl I know is dying to see it, so that says a lot. However, Miley does have that star power but it's in a sense where you either love or hate her usually going without an inbetween. But she's controversial nontheless, which will result in hype for her movie as well. I predict they'll both do about the same, but who knows?



    47. 47

      The Last Song might be worth going to see. Unfortunately, there's a nasty ho starring, so I'll have to resist.



    48. 48

      At least one mega tearjerker does well every year and we haven't yet had one this year. Although it's only February and I have no doubt that Rachael McAdams will cry and scream her way into the number one spot for 2010 just as she has every year since 'The Notebook'.



    49. 49

      I read both books and I personally liked The Last Song more. Dear John was a great movie (I saw it yesterday), but the plot of The Last Song was something which hit me harder.
      While I think the actors in Dear John are more talented, I think Miley may surprise us.



    50. 50

      The Last Song!
      Can't wait to see that:)



    51. 51

      Please come on amada seyfried and channing are way way better actors than miley cyrus…i think dear john takes home the trophy seriously who wants to see miley act…going to watch dear john def



    52. 52

      Re: xmichyx – lmao coming from a twilight fan! Mileys a much better acter than all of the twilight people.



    53. 53

      I thought that was Amanda Bynes….



    54. 54

      miley's movie is going to bomb anyway. nobody but tween girls gives a shit about her. Compare her "acting" ability and looks to that of The Notebook's Rachel Mcadams and miley is completely laughable. Hell compared to Jesica Simpson, Miley's acting is laughable. You notice how in the previews, they don't even show her TRYING to act, or overacting i should say, or show her f'd up hillbilly teeth that much. The girl is ugly, has no discernible talent, and is a Disney money making joke. No self respecting young adult woman is going to care two shits about seeing this movie.



    55. 55

      Re: NOT PC – Im 17 and mso are my friends and were going to see it. And all the peopla who have seen early screenings of it have said mileys acting is incredible so… Anyways no one cares about your opinion anyway



    56. 56

      why is it called a "hamburger" when there is no "ham" in it???



    57. 57

      the last song book was the best book i have EVER read!



    58. 58

      GossipLover Dear John is a better movie? The other one hasn't been released yet? LOL Love all the jealous haters!



    59. 59

      I hope Dear John. But theres a ton of frikkin Miley fans that will see The Last Song. But then again theirs people who dislike her who arent seeing it because shes in it. Like me. I dont hate her. I just dont like her. Hate is a strong word. But i wont see the movie because shes in it. Im just gunna read the book(: And I agree with Karynn. Dear John has better talent in it.!



    60. 60

      Mileys facial expression looks pretty stupid on that poster…not seeing it.



    61. 61

      Screw Miley Cyrus !
      I really hope Dear John will be better. Miley doesnt need any more money -_-
      Just. End your carreer already. Everybody hates you (Y)



    62. 62

      #55, #56, #57, & #58 are all posted by the same lonely crazy person with the SAME IP address. How truly pathetic you are. You claim to be 17? you must be one fat ugly zit faced 17 year old girl w/no life and no male attention! How many 17 year old girls sit and post multiple times under fake names on the internet defending MC. Not many, u know why honey, because they are out dating, socializing and having fun. Get a life, buy some Clearasil, lose some weight, quit idolizing some hillbilly chick 8-11year old girl idolize. Most 17 year old girls that have boyfriends and socialize, could not care less about MC. She has no talent and cant act to save her life, and her movie will tank. Or all the girl tweens will go see it, and drag their parents…and your fat ass will be the oldest one unchaperoned in the audience. LOL!



    63. 63

      oh and one more thing "Sybil" with all your multiple personalities, you are full of shit, there have been NO "advance screenings." The studio has not shown any, neither critics not anyone has seen it yet, because they no her acting is dismal and embarrassing. they dont even feature her in the commercials to her own movie u moron. so i guess you are a liar too, besides being a fat socially inept social outcast ugly lonely girl.
      PS notice how is use my REAL name to post more than once. Going out for a drive now, you too should get out of your house more often.



    64. 64

      Hummm… I bet there`s no love making in The Last Song?! l m a o



    65. 65

      Re: NOT PC – your an effing loser i only have one name and its this one so stop making up BS lies your fu### idiot Do you not realize how pathetic you just made yourself seem? I looked at the ip adress LMAO obviously you didnt because were all different people and if you did one its staulkerish and 2 your lying because I only have one account so… YOU FAIL



    66. 66

      Re: NOT PC – anyone who doesnt agree with your stupid opions is the same person? GROW UP LOSER



    67. 67

      soooooo excited about the last song being released gotta wait even longer for t to come out in the UK though :(



    68. 68

      i wanna c Dear John, cuz it looks like a very sappy movie (my type). wtf iz The Last Song bout, anyway. They shood at least have some comercials that give the plot away like Dear John!!



    69. 69

      Dear John because:
      1) Channing Tatum
      2) Dear John was a better book with a better story line for a movie.
      3) Miley Cyrus??



    70. 70

      Dear "Sybil" it's your IP addresses on all those fake posts with different names, the are all the same…IP addresses don't lie Einstein. You are also delusional; do you even realize what you are doing? Or do you just not know and go into a trance like state when you use different monikers? You should seek medical help ASAP loser. And to say everyone who does not agree with you and your opinionS are wrong and losers, and that your opinionS are the only right ones just shows how stupid and messed up in the head you are. You are not worth my time anymore to respond to. No wonder you are a Miley fan, because all she attracts are outcast fat girl geeky awkward tweens who want to live through her.



    71. 71

      Miley is cute. Miley is talented. Miley is loved. Perez, you are SO not any of these.



    72. 72

      oh god… stupid ass chick flicks…

      *sticks to her foreign/indie films*



    73. 73

      Re: NOT PC – dear asshole are you those other people? MAybe your the loser who makes multiple accounts to hate on Miley? Only idiots make more than one account im not pathetic like that but maybe you are…



    74. 74

      eewww i wouldn't even THINK about going to watch the last song! what person over 18 would?????



    75. 75

      I will totally be looking out for The Last Song!



    76. 76

      Saw the preview of the Last Song when I went to see Dear John. It actually looks pretty good.



    77. 77

      @Miley's BIGGEST fan:
      Well YOU cared enough. Besides, just FYI, I did not comment on her looks (though it was hard not to say that she looks very much like a duck with her lips curled). I was commenting on her acting abilities, since even C list actors understands that they have to put on a sad face in a sad movie poster. Apparently people would be laughing at her pathetic 'acting' skills rather than crying when they watch the movie.
      *
      Btw I'm 19, though I don't get how it is relevant to what I post.



    78. 78

      ew!! look at miley's fug facial expression on that poster!! she looks so botoxed and freakish!! what a troll!

    79. MPoPo says – reply to this


      79

      Dear John was awful it was nothing like the book. Miley Cyrus is AMAZING



    80. 80

      i would pick dear john over the last song.



    81. 81

      why is miley pulling that face on the last song cover? she looks like she's attempting to sulk but failing badly!



    82. 82

      honestly im not saying this cuz i like miley cyrus cuz trust me i dont .. but dear john really sucked … it was a complete waste of my time and money



    83. 83

      OH MY GODD.
      My mom just told me that the people who are making the Oscars are thinking about making "The Worst Actress" category as a joke && guess who's nominated? MILEY CYRUUS FOR THE LAST SONG.
      sooo.
      Yeah. For all the people saying that they heard that miley's acting was incredible in this movie, you heard lies. :)



    84. 84

      Dear John - FTW!



    85. 85

      I saw both Last Song and Dear John. I saw The Last Song months ago from a private screening. The Last Song was better than Dear John by a landslide. I thought Dear John was an awful movie and horribly made. The Last Song actually sticks to the book and has great acting and a great story. It will most likely do better because of Mileys fans



    86. 86

      Because Amanda Seyfried is in Dear John it will definatly do better than the movie that miley is in,.
