Reviews for The Longest Ride

Review - Longest Ride, The

Set in an alternate universe where couples just have the one big problem and once they're past that, live happily forever. There's always some pretty scenery or soft music to make things right again. The characters here are shallow but likable, the story implausible. But that's not really the point, is it?
