| Fresno BeeRick BentleyScott Eastwood's good ol' boy Southern gentleman is sweetly charming. He's perfectly matched with Britt Robertson, who has grown since the under-appreciated CW Network series Life Unexpected. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifforda fantastical love story Sparks fans will probably love, made more endurable for the rest of us by a cast giving it more commitment than it's worth. |
| CinemaBlend.comMike ReyesA well-told love story that starts a little formulaic but quickly turns into something that's enjoyable to watch unfold. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertThis is spoon-fed entertainment, but it tastes pretty good. |

| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekThe treacle flows for well over two hours, an interminable serving of the author's trademark schmaltz. |
| Cinematic Essential Deirdre CrimminsThe Longest Ride did not convert me to being a fan of romance films, but it did show me that I can enjoy parts of one. |

By the time The Longest Ride runs right off a cliff, we're already strapped in to the passenger seat. Give in and enjoy the plunge. |
