Audience Reviews for The Longest Ride

• Mar 18, 2016

  Based on a Nicholas Sparks novel, The Longest Ride is a touching romantic drama. The story follows an aspiring art major and a professional bull rider who fall in love, and have a chance encounter with an art collector that alters their lives forever. Britt Robertson and Scott Eastwood lead the cast and give especially good performance, having great chemistry together. But the script is a bit of a problem, as the plot is over-stuffed; deliver two love stories for the price of one. And at times it can be a little emotionally manipulative. Yet while it has some issues, The Longest Ride is a compelling film about the power of love to overcome adversity.

  In the long line of Nicholas Sparks novels, we usually get one every year and it comes and goes. For some reason, this one has been getting more word of mouth than most so I thought I would give it a try. I can say with all honesty, this is one of his better efforts by far. The pairing of Brit Robertson and Scott Eastwood was perfect and I bought their chemistry the whole way through. That is what made this film as good as it is. The one thing that kept taking me out of the film slightly was the fact that he keeps using plot points from his previous films, such as going to war or old people on the verge of passing away. Oddly enough, the filmmakers made all of these elements work it it really does tug at your heartstrings. "The Longest Ride" is much better than I was expecting it to be, and that is saying something. This is a well-made film all around with great performances. No it's not the most original film in the world, but it is a nice, watchable romance that I would be glad to pop in again.

  Less annoying than some Nicolas Sparks film adaptations but still schmaltzy and predictable. The leads are horrible actors but the secondary ones played by Chaplin and Huston are very good and Alan Alda also still shows he has acting chops. The direction is amateurish and the pace can get real sluggish. North Carolina sure has some beautiful scenery! 08-16-2015

  One of the better adaptations of Nicholas Spark's romance novels. I thought that this was going to be bad but instead it was heartwarming, well acted and had a positive message throughout.
