Nicholas
Sparks
is
back
and
this
time
with
another
romantic
movie,
'The
Longest
Ride'.
The
author
behind
hit
movies
like
'The
Notebook',
'Dear
John'
and
'The
Best
of
Me'
has
a
new
novel
to
movie
adaptation.
When
we
saw
the
trailer
of
'The
Longest
Ride'
starring
Luke
(Scott
Eastwood)
and
college
student
Sophia
(Britt
Robertson),
we
were
waiting
for
the
movie
to
hit
the
theaters.
It
is
not
strange
that
after
seeing
so
many
romantic
classic
hits
by
Nicholas
Sparks,
we
had
a
lot
of
expectations
from
this
movie
too.
There's
a
split
love
story
just
like
we
saw
in
'The
Notebook',
but
'The
Longest
Ride'
has
two
different
couples,
one
from
today
(Scott
Eastwood
&
Britt
Robertson)
and
one
from
the
past
(Jack
Huston
&
Oona
Chaplin)
who
have
been
separated
by
time
but
connected
by
fate.
'The
Longest
Ride'
is
a
story
about
Sophia
(Britt
Robertson)
who
meets
a
cowboy
named
Luke
(Scott
Eastwood).
The
two
hit
it
off
after
they
meet
during
his
bull
ride.
However,
the
couple
must
get
past
various
problems
which
includes
Luke's
risky
career
which
also
gets
him
hospitalised.
In
order
to
be
happy
together,
Luke
and
Sophia
have
to
overcome
such
problems
as
she
is
afraid
of
losing
him
but
Luke
is
determined
to
stick
to
his
risky
and
dangerous
career.
Meanwhile,
Ira
Levinson
(Alan
Alda)
gets
hurt
in
a
car
accident
and
taken
to
hospital
by
Luke
and
Sophia
who
witness
the
accident.
The
old
Ira
is
comforted
by
a
mirage
of
his
deceased
wife
who
convinces
him
to
stay
awake.
He
is
taken
care
by
Sophia
and
slowly
she
gets
to
know
about
how
Ira
sacrificed
for
love
and
it
is
all
about
time.
Adding
more
romanticism
and
sexuality
in
the
American
drama
film
is
Hozier's
sensuous
voice.
There
is
romance,
sex,
fun,
cry
and
even
pain
in
the
movie.
However,
Scott
Eastwood
and
Britt
Robertson's
chemistry
did
not
gel
well
and
they
failed
to
show
their
bonding
in
the
romantic
drama.
All
in
all,
if
you
are
a
big
fan
of
Nicholas
Sparks,
then
it
a
good
watch
but
make
sure
you
keep
some
tissues
handy.
The
film
co-stars
actors
Jack
Huston,
Melissa
Benoist,
and
Oona
Chaplin
and
is
being
directed
by
George
Tillman
Jr.,
who
previously
helmed
such
films
as
"Men
of
Honor"
and
"Notorious."
