'The Longest Ride' Review Roundup: Sweet Trip Or A Boring Film?

The critics have spoken and all of them agree: If you're going to spend eight bucks on a movie this weekend, it had better not be on The Longest Ride.

That it is a Nicholas Sparks adaptation simply says it all. Like nearly all the other nine Sparks love stories that have made it to the silver screen since 2002, The Longest Ride succeeds at creating a romantic drama so tediously formulaic and unbelievable, not even the copious views of actor Scott Eastwood's (son of Clint Eastwood) six-pack can save this movie from being two hours and 19 minutes of tear-jerking torture.

"Far be it [for] me to spoil a movie in a review, but 'The Longest Ride' is such junk that I don't care," says Jordan Hoffman of The Guardian.
