However contrived this tenth Sparks-to-screen becomes, the emotions and chemistry outweigh the bull.
Everything in the movie is suffused by a vision of life that is resoundingly and evidently false, but as this vision is not repulsive, but is intended to reassure, the lies don’t produce anger or frustration. No, they bring on the laughs.

The Longest Ride is an astonishing romance-drama movie directed by George Tillman Jr. and the source by the novel with the same name from the famous author Nicholas Spark.
Now this movie succeeds at everything that most of romance movie fail at.First off it does have a good lesson about life and making the right choice,something that stays with you forever.Also the acting is great especially by Britt Robertson who does such an amazing job here,and her chemistry with Scott Eastwood makes this movie even greater.A true heartfelt romance during the whole movie and I also love the way that the two stories connect and make **** and Ruth have had a life together and have enjoyed it for many years,and everyone should take notes right out of it because living a life with someone you love is better than anything else.
I really loved this movie,by far the best romance movie ever in my **** see it if you haven't yet because it's worth it.

It's a nice sappy movie, perfect for those of us who want the fairy tale ending instead of the real life ending we usually get. The parallel love stories didn't seem to match at all until the end when the true love lesson is learned. We did like the love story of the couple in the past better than the couple's story of the present. But whatever, love is love anyway couples have it.

It would not surprise me if most reviews for this film are openly hostile. It is a wretched piece of writing, and an absurd final product. It almost seems pointless to pile on, though. The audience who loves Sparks is going to go see this film and they'll no doubt walk away satisfied.
It tries to bridge the gap between pop culture and cultural elitism, between high art and the common commodity that everyone else buys tickets to see. A worthy goal, but it results in a movie that has none of the virtues of either.
People don’t go to Sparks movies for subtlety; they go to warm their hearts by bearing witness to true love. Of course, that requires a story that rings true. In The Longest Ride, authenticity is in short supply.
Just as the basic plot points are hard to swallow, even the most rudimentary aspects of the characters' interactions feel forced, artificial and unspontaneous.
In the 1980 movie “Urban Cowboy,” John Travolta rode a mechanical bull. In The Longest Ride, Scott Eastwood rides real bulls, but everything else is mechanical.
This is a bit cheesy and sentimental but I liked the fact that it has multiple stories within stories (i.e. sub plots). At first it seems like an almost typical rom com/teenage film but I enjoyed hearing the stories from the elderly man that the main characters save from a car accident. I found it particularly nice to see how close the main characters, adolescents, became to the eldery man. It is certainly a somewhat thoughtful film, even if/though it was too sugary sweet for my personal liking - there are certainly some poignant lines of dialogue, in the script.
There are, obviously, some morals present (about love and perserverance)- as I hinted, it may feel a bit 'holier than thou' but not horrendously so and for the most part I found it an easy, light-ish watch. Not a bad film. Not brilliant, not bad.

When watching this movie it had a good beginning (and that's kinda of odd since this a Nicholas Spark adaptation). But how many times is Sparks going to use the same formula that he writes books and same films? despite that Britt Robertson and Scott Eastwood (Clint Eastwood's son which do not know why in this movie.), give some decent performances. So far i was blown away by the storytelling but here's the problem, the script is convoluted the stereotype girl cliche's just don't film work. Alan Alda performance only makes the film glorious and emotional. Positives:the film keeps the story going which makes the audience impressed and amazed. Number two: girls can cry their **** eyes out and enjoy it. It was boring sometimes. Grade B+

The Longest Ride was one of my favourite Nicholas Sparks novels. It was extremely well written, coming together quite nicely at the end, it was a page turner and I was excited for the movie. However, I have never been more disappointed with the execution of a film like I have with this.
The casting for Luke was spot on, but what they did with his character greatly hurt the charm of his character. That being said the casting for Sophia and her roommate Marcia was horrendous. Sophia was supposed to be a strong, smart character with some fire but Brit Robertson brought this ditzy, flimsy feel to the character that can quite easily turn one off of the character.
I have always hated the liberties taken with Sparks' novels when they are being turned into films and cutting Brian out of the film completely and that whole subplot between him and Sophia also took away greatly from what made the novel interesting.
For once, I would like a capable screenwriter to do a Nicholas Sparks novel justice.

Romance chato e fraco, feito para adolescente, uma enorme perda de tempo para se assistir, falta um pouco mais de tempero na história para ficar mais intrigante.
