Amazon.com: When you consider that old-fashioned tearjerkers are an endangered species in Hollywood, a movie like The Notebook can be embraced without apology. Yes, it's syrupy sweet and clogged with clichés, and one can only marvel at the irony of Nick Cassavetes directing a weeper that his late father John--whose own films were devoid of saccharine sentiment--would have sneered at. Still, this touchingly impassioned and great-looking adaptation of the popular Nicholas Sparks novel has much to recommend, including appealing young costars (Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams) and appealing old costars (James Garner and Gena Rowlands, the director's mother) playing the same loving couple in (respectively) early 1940s and present-day North Carolina. He was poor, she was rich, and you can guess the rest; decades later, he's unabashedly devoted, and she's drifting into the memory-loss of senile dementia. How their love endured is the story preserved in the titular notebook that he reads to her in their twilight years. The movie's open to ridicule, but as a delicate tearjerker it works just fine. Message in a Bottle and A Walk to Remember were also based on Sparks novels, suggesting a triple-feature that hopeless romantics will cherish. --Jeff Shannon

I can't believe it took me so long to see this movie. I tend to stick to the older love stories, like Breakfast At Tiffany's, Casablanca, Gone With The Wind, etc..difficult love intrigues more more than the ... Read More
Rating: - Not the worst, not the greatest, but just right.
I do not prefer romances and I do not like Nick Sparks... But I did like this movie. I had always heard my girl friends swoon over it but refused to watch it. One day, sick in bed, it was all I had to watch. ... Read More
