Rating: PG-13 for some sensuality and violence. What it’s about: A young couple meet and fall in love on the beach, but war takes him far away, with only letters keeping them together.The kid attractor factor: Amanda Seyfried and Channing Tatum in a film of a Nicholas Sparks novel.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Love means sacrifice and doing right by the other person, no matter what.
Violence: A shooting, in combat, in the opening scene
Language: Disney clean
Sex: Yes, but handled with discretion.
Drugs: A beachside party with some beer.
Parents’ advisory: An old-fashioned romance with an emphasis on the inoffensive, very much in the Nicholas Sparks style.
