What's left behind the scenes
- Warner Bros. produced all four previous film adaptations of Nicholas Sparks' bestsellers, but in this case, the rights to the book went to Sony Pictures instead.
- The Swedish flag over the troops' camp in Afghanistan reminds the viewer of the nationality of the film's director, Lasse Hallström.
- The film is based on Nicholas Sparks's novel "Dear John" (2006).
- The original title of the book and film, "Dear John," is an idiom in English meaning a letter from a girlfriend or wife informing a boyfriend or husband of a breakup. Such a letter is most often written when it is impossible or undesirable to tell the person this to their face. The exact origin of this phrase is unknown, but it is believed to have originated and come into use during World War II.
- From the 92nd minute to the 95th minute of the film, John's epaulettes are reversed, and then they return to the correct position.
- The character of Alan received his traits from one of Nicholas Sparks' sons, who was also affected by one form of autism – Asperger's syndrome.
- The film's finale had to be reshot in haste after an unsatisfactory reaction during test screenings.
- Despite the fact that the military operations in the film take place in modern times, the filmmakers deliberately chose not to send John to Iraq, as they sought to avoid any political associations.
- The ideological inspiration for the film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' novel came from producer Marty Bowen. He read the manuscript even before its publication.
