Directed by Nick Cassavetes, this adaptation of author Nicholas Sparks's bestselling novel revolves around Noah Calhoun's (James Garner) regular visits to a female patron (Gena Rowlands) of an area nursing home. Rather than bore her with the inanities of everyday life, Calhoun reads from an old, faded notebook containing the sweeping account of a young couple (Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams) whose love affair was tragically put to a halt after their separation in the midst of World War II. Seven years later, the couple was reunited, and, despite having taken radically different paths, they found themselves unable to resist the call of a second chance. The Notebook also features Joan Allen, Sam Shepard, and Kevin Connolly. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi
My all time favorite movie. Best romance movie ever. Keyword: Romance, as in chick flicks. So, this movie is probably not enjoyed by most guys. But girls you will love this sooooo much. Another one to check out if u enjoy this is The Time Traveler's Wife which is also another of my favorites and also stars Rachel McAdams (coincidence, love the book). ENJOY!!
This is my most favorite movie ever made, so I must rave about it. It is SO well done, it makes me cry everytime, and it makes me want what Noah and Allie have. After reading the book, I could have never wished for a better movie. The Notebook is my favorite story ever written; Nicholas Sparks never fails to make me happy with his writing, let alone the movies that go along with his books. Simply amazing. Great story about true love and soulmates, and what life is really all about.
I don't know how this film every got by me in 2004. This is one of the greatest creations in movie history. James Garner and associates were magnificent. The ending could not have been better written. I am an old soldier who caught himself tearing up at the end. Anyone who didn't is probably not human. One word for this film sums it up...."WOW!!!
