The Longest Ride

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Longest Ride is less manipulative than the average Nicholas Sparks film, but it's still saccharine and hopelessly contrived -- not that it'll matter to the target audience.

Alex Abad-Santos Vox Unfortunately, Chaplin's brilliance, Alda's funny crustiness, and Eastwood's vulnerability aren't enough to keep this film afloat. Rated: 2/5 Dec 17, 2015 Full Review Alison Willmore BuzzFeed News The Longest Ride is a weak sauce addition to the Sparks empire, a little better than last year's The Best of Me, but miles below uber-Sparks work The Notebook. Nov 10, 2015 Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Like all of Sparks's stories it's corny as hell, but there's an unabashed, old-fashioned charm that gradually warms the cockles and moistens the eye. Rated: 3/5 Jun 21, 2015 Full Review Andrew Galdi Movie Bitches After an hour, I was like, "no, I'm over it." May 27, 2020 Full Review Dan Scully Cinema76 [T]he movie is painfully cliched, poorly written, and so ethically skewed that I take strong umbrage to its message. Apr 9, 2020 Full Review Avaryl Halley Movie Bitches It needed more tragedy... it's a Nicholas Sparks movie after all! Mar 27, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Sarah W I like the contrast between the past and the present in this movie. It's overall a really decent chick flick. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review Bill R Excellent! Love story with great acting by Scott Eastwood and Britt Robinson, not to forget Alan alda! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Yash B "The Longest Ride" is a strange mashup of two storylines that feel like two completely different movies. It seems there is an attempt to connect the two and find parallels, but to me, it just felt kind of boring because I was never really invested in either storyline. There are some sweet and romantic moments, but not enough for me to care about anyone in the movie if I am being honest. I think the movie is shot and put together pretty well, and the performances are fine, I just didn't get into it. Overall, to me, this is one of the less engaging Nicholas Sparks movies and I really never got into it or got truly emotionally invested. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review jack h This was a really good movie and I enjoyed it Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review KB B This was a very enjoyable movie that was so moving. It's definitely worth the watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review donnie m i LOVED this movie-lots of life lessons on what's important Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
