Theatrical Trailer
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

A Truly Heartwarming Love Story
November 30, 2008
The Notebook was all I had hoped it would be and more. My friend recommended this movie a long time ago. I finally decided to buy the DVD and watch it. The story kept moving from beginning to end. There were a few twists, turns, and surprises. Two heartwarming stories all wrapped up in one.
This is a great movie to sit down with just you and your box of tissues, a friend, or the love of your life. It's not just a chick flick. The Notebook has a great story line, lovable characters, and a couple characters you love to hate. I highly recommend The Notebook for a quiet movie night at home. I'm glad I finally took my friend's advice and watched it. You will be too.
The Notebook

I so enjoyed the DVD/ Story. Have seen it twice and will be viewing it again soon. N. Sparks doesn't write a bad story!!
One of the best love stories of all time, period.
November 17, 2008
I watched this movie again on cable for the umpteenth time recently, and I just have to comment on the one editorial review by Bruce Diones of The New Yorker:
He says "the film is as bland and sentimental as a greeting card."
Mr. Diones clearly is not in possession of a beating heart in his chest. If he has been so lucky as to have a woman love him, I feel sorry for her. And if that sounds harsh, then so be it.
This film delivers on so many levels. It is obviously an incredibly romantic story - as others have noted, the chemistry between Gosling and McAdams was fabulous (and of course we found out subsequently was the makings of a real-life romance), but pay attention to the cinematography, the editing, the soundtrack... All magnificently well done. Some of the scenes are absolutely visually stunning, such as the sunsets, and when Noah takes Alli on the lake and all of the white ducks are swimming around them.
The only scene that I find hard to take - and which might have been overdone a bit - is towards the end when Noah and Alli are dancing in one of her lucid periods and she lapses back into dementia and doesn't recognize him again. It is painful to watch and I thought that they could have made the characters be not so intensely emotional and still been effective.
Other than that one minor criticism, it is a film that is truly a love story for the ages, and one that I will continue to watch again and again as the years go by; and if I am lucky, with someone I love.
The most beautiful love story ever......

I don't know why I missed it at the theater, but a friend gave it to me to watch one evening. My 14 yr old daughter watched it with me and we both cried all through the movie - not because it was sad, but because it was so beautiful. The kind of love this movie portrayed is the kind of love we are all searching for. This movie is for everyone who believes true love really exists. This is the kind of love worth waiting for!
