Editorial Review:
Behind every great love is a great story. Two teenagers from opposite sides of the tracks fall in love during one summer together but are tragically forced apart. When they reunite 7 years later their passionate romance is rekindled forcing one of them to choose between true love and class order.Running Time: 124 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 794043749728
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

Rating:  - The Notebook
This is my all time favorite movie! It is one of the best love stories of all times! it makes me cry everytime! The Notebook is one of thoes movies i had to own!
Rating:  - Sweet at best, Sappy-Dappy and Cliched at Worst
Seriously, I don't get the rave reviews for this movie. People I know are ranting about it as if actually came within a mile of such love classics as "Titanic", "Pearl Harbor", and "A Walk in the Clouds". Trust me, it doesn't; this film doesn't set a toe on the royal grounds of films like that. And what beats me is, why? This movie has an excellent story, is based on a breathtakingly moving book, and stuck almost entirely to the book; what went wrong??
Maybe it's the characterizations. ... Read More
Rating:  - Beautiful movie
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 simple boy meets girl, she must chose, teen angst, first love romance. Which is what The Notebook is and yet it amazed me from beginning to end. It's a typical love story in so many ways and yet it's able to stand on it's own as a epic love story like no other.

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. And I have to say, not only did I like it, I cried a little. (And by a little, I mean a lot.) The idea of a life-long love appeals to some but not to most. Today's society no longer understands enduring love -- probably why it doesn't appeal to men or teenage crowds. Regardless, it is your ... Read More
Rating: - There is a reason
There is a simple explanation for why someone would give a bad rating for this movie...they have never known what it's like to have loved and lost or almost lost someone. This movie makes sense to people who believe to have met their soul mate. That magical connection that Noah and Alli portray is only something some of us get to experience and understand.
Therefore, this movie gets five stars from me and is my favorite movie of all time. I've never been so glued to the television. I've ... Read More
