Reviews for this film from our members:
- [New – 8/23/15] | Dragan Antulov @ Draxblog VI [Croatian]
- Marina Antunes @ Row Three
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
- Excerpt: A sentimental movie with a message worth pondering about what it takes to keep love alive.
- Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
- Excerpt: Nicholas Sparks is a talentless hack whose dullard storytelling managed to hit a stride with modern audiences. They amount to nothing more than romance novels, and not even good ones at that.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: a fantastical love story Sparks fans will probably love, made more endurable for the rest of us by a cast giving it more commitment than it’s worth.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: Both stories are weak—and not just in the circumstances-over-character way of the Sparks universe.
- Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: ‘The Longest Ride’ lives up to its title, feeling like a drawn out love story starring two people who aren’t at all convincing as a couple.
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: This predictably sudsy screen adaptation unabashedly oozes slush and sentimentality….
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: For once, a movie based on a Nicholas Sparks book appears to be populated by relatively realistic approximations of human beings dealing with relationship conflict in realistic ways.
- Kristen Lopez @ Awards Circuit
- Excerpt: A horrible Nicholas Sparks books turns into a passable film…
- Dan Lybarger @ www.arkansasonline.com
- Excerpt: Like most adaptations of Nicholas Sparks novels, The Longest Ride manages to suck all the vitality, credibility and passion from romance.
- Nell Minow @ The Movie Mom
- Stefan Pape @ HeyUGuys
- Jerry Roberts @ Armchair Cinema
- Excerpt: Sparks’ sudsy-clean world is a vision of lovers who are as beautiful as a magazine cover but as interesting as a five-pound sack of fertilizer. The formula dictates that they be madly in love, not out of personality, but out of necessity to the plot – such as it is.
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: The treacle flows for well over two hours, an interminable serving of the author’s trademark schmaltz.
