Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Pretty descent movie....i will not say that it is one of the best movies but also not a bad one..The story of Sophia and Luke is very simple but the second one is mind blowing...yes the story of Iris and Ruth..Luke is a Bull rider and wants to be the no 1 in world..One day at a bull riding event,he accidentally meets Sophia, a student of arts...Both fall in love and give us sensual romance through out the movie.On their first date,they meet an old man called Iris..His love story has also been traced back in the movie.The essence of this movie is unconditional love.and that, you have to sacrifice for your love..In the movie,both love stories go parallel..One of Luke and Sophia. Other one of Iris and Ruth. Both Sophia and Luke are two different individuals and have their own dreams for Life..Both find themselves caught up in strange situation where they neither want to lose each other.. nor any one of them wants to give up his ambition...So,who should sacrifice and why?In the old story,unconditional love has been depicted practically.both Ruth and Iris made innumerable sacrifices for each other and even they gave up their greatest ambitions to remain as a family..and to remain together..They loved each other more than anything else in this world.The locations and scenes in the movie are breathtaking. Story is good..drama is great..Bull riding is thriller.Art is also good to watch...You will not find these things very often in any movie's story line..Besides all odds you will really enjoy the movie...

in the beginning movie, actually I was a little bored. I do not know what is the point of the movie. Is it just want to show off about the romantic between the character, or is there anything else? honestly, I almost decided to stop watching about a half movie, but I really want to know what made this movie take the good rating.So i just continue. I skipped some of part of Ruth and Ira, I do not know, again, what there was so much flashback there? what was the point? I was fail to get the bond between the flashback and the recent, but then I still keep watching.And then! I actually really like the ending. I like the resolution, and when I got the point of this movie, I thought, well... this movie was more than about romantic thing. I gave this a good rating so.

I was a good distraction watching that movie. Cinematography going over North Carolina beautiful scenery with green meadows and idyllic lakes was very impressive. Acting was also persuasive by two protagonist beautiful couples twin crossing the decades. But there was no point other but a general odd to eternal, true love that overcomes obstacles. Those last, were not persuasive at all. Loving painting art and rodeos doesn't make an obstacle - since dependent couple didn't care as they pass a very good time in the ranch riding, watching bull fighting, passing time together in the cozy Texas-style ranch. As for the first couple – the older one, Ruth comes back to her husband Ira not caring about "poetic permission's" injuries of the past. Movie recommended for the very good acting of the two young couples and the beautiful landscape scenery - skillfully filmed, issued to a very good cinematography and that's all.

Filled with more cheese and sap than a full season of Days of our Lives, The Longest Ride wears its Hallmark like heart on its cowboy sleeve and never once tries to hide it but for a film that so easily could've been too mawkish to take, it ends up being a likable, watchable and most importantly smile inducing effort.As a word of warning, anyone that has found Nicholas Sparks adaptations like The Notebook, A Walk to Remember or Nights at Rodanthe unbearable then stay as far away as possible from Ride as like those films it features impossibly cute couples being in love like only novels and movies can portray and with this film you don't just get one love story, you get two. Talk about great value! This two pronged element is quite likely the main reason Ride never becomes too unbearable and at 2 hours in length it could've easily become that but experienced director George Tillman Jr. handles both the modern day story of bull rider Luke Collins and art loving college student Sophia and also the told via flashback story of Boardwalk Empire's Jack Huston's Ira and Oona Chaplin's Ruth in a way that the film never gets to bogged down in either story mode and the audience is able to enjoy their time spent with these love birds before they start to get annoying, whether it be Britt Robertson's OTT laugh or Oona Chaplin's off putting accent.Like all Sparks adaptations before it and likely after it, Ride finds young attractive couples to take centre stage here and while the chemistry of both Eastwood and Robertson and then Huston and Chaplin isn't at a Notebook like level they all share an easy to like persona which helps these slightly unbelievable characters feel a little more real. The most interesting of these is Eastwood's Luke, while his like a fairy-tale cowboy Luke isn't your typical male lead and while he has a long way to go Clint Eastwood Jr shows enough to suggest a career as a leading man like his father isn't out of the equation.A slight bit more cheerful than your average Sparks story thanks to an almost groan inducing ending, The Longest Ride is a romantic tale that thankfully boyfriends, partners and husbands the world over can watch with their better halves and enjoy rather than count down the minutes until the pain is over.3 full faced Richard Harrow's out of 5
