Product Description
A boy from the wrong side of the tracks falls in love with a rich girl, and it seems no one approves of the relationship.
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

 Reminds me of visiting a new car salesmans lot. September 8, 2010
Timothy B. Holt (Santa Cruz and World Surfing Capital)
This is as shallow as it can get. It speaks of dreams that nobody can realize. Manipulative and empty of life. It is odd how much hypocracy the most stalwart members of our society love to cheer romantic thought. Yet they so easily wonder why taking billions of profits to overseas accounts in the Caymans, Philipines, Switserland, and destroying their own homeland in greed, is not a complete contradiction to romance. Maybe they are right. Old duffers who love the thought of being romantic when they are really ecomonic terrorists of the land they were born in do badly need a reason to tear up and cry a bit as they stumbble all the way to the bank with their new prostitute lady wives. Like Glen Beck they cry. Do you know what "Crocodile Tears" are? Do you know what the "Walrus Said" in his tears. You are being eaten alive by the folks who write and produce such drivel. They know it is fake. They just want to steal all your money and your constitution before you wake up and realize that the rich have gone from being thoughtful folk like Carnegie and Melon (who felt bad and gave it back) to Mafiosi of the worst most corrupt nature even if born in Texas. No. This shallow crap sucks and has nothing to do with your future or dealing with the most dificult aspects or our parents old age

S. Lyda (Phoenix, AZ)
I loved Noah's devotion to her especially all the way to the end of their lives. Very touching. I've watched it twice and cried both times. =) It's best to watch it with the lights off, your phones off and no distractions.
