Film Review: ‘The Longest Ride’ is a Journey to Nowhere
Submitted by PatrickMcD on April 10, 2015 - 12:20pmCHICAGO – “The Longest Ride” is sentimental schlockmeister Nicholas Sparks’ latest attempt to remix “The Notebook.” It’s got an old man recounting lost love, handwritten letters, young lovers kissing in the rain, breakups, reunions, corny dialogue and of course those North Carolina backdrops. He’s playing all the same notes, but this time he’s lost the melody.
