	Author	Review
United States	Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times	"The two-plus hours is mostly marked by an emptiness born of scene after scene designed to blatantly manipulate emotions rather than trigger them."	NEG
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"As spring perennials go, a new Nicholas Sparks movie has come to seem as inevitable as tax day and allergy season, and only mildly less irritating to the senses"	NEG
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"The basic plot points are hard to swallow, even the most rudimentary aspects of the characters' interactions feel forced, artificial and unspontaneous"	NEG
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Fairly tedious, despite the charm and sincerity of the actors"	NEG
United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"This is spoon-fed entertainment, but it tastes pretty good (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United Kingdom	Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"It’s dumb, it’s long, it’s dull, but it isn’t quite bad enough to be camp. (...) Rating: ★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"Scott Eastwood’s Abs Take Center Stage in Nicholas Sparks Adaptation. (...) Overall, “The Longest Ride” feels cloying and contrived"	NEG
