Behind every great love is a great story.
Adapted from Nicholas Sparks' best-selling novel, and directed by Nick Cassavetes (the son of legendary director John Cassavettes).
A sweeping love story told by a man reading from his faded notebook (James Garner) to a woman in a nursing home (Gena Rowlands - real-life mother of Nick Cassavetes). 'The Notebook' follows the lives of two North Carolina teens from very different worlds (Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams). Though her upbringing takes place in an antebellum mansion, and he grew up in the kind of house where musicians strum on the porch, that doesn't stop Noah and Allie from spending one incredible summer together, before they are separated, first by her parents and then by WWII.
After the war is over, everything is different. Allie is engaged to a successful businessman, and Noah lives alone with his 200-year-old house that he lovingly restores. But, when Allie reads a newspaper article about Noah's handiwork. She knows that she's got to find him, and make a decision once and for all about the path her life - and her love - must take...

Everything about this film is perfect; the acting, storyline, music, scenery.
The only reason I don't watch it every single day is because it makes me sob like a little girl every time I watch it.
Anyone who likes a good love story (and a good leading male ;)) this is for you.
A million stars.
Grab a box of tissues and prepare to cry!

This film is one of the greats, with an superb story line, fantastic drama and a great ending, it will keep you on the edge of your sofa with a tissue in hand through out.
However, One of the draw backs is that its not a guy film. so send him down the pub and enjoy!
Jesus.

Seriously, I'm afraid not, absolutely not.
Yes, I am a guy,
Yes, I previously hated chickflicks,
No this didn't change my mind,
...Yes, one of my shirts has been ruined from a weeping girlfriend's eye-liner.
What I couldn't shake about this film is the plasticness of it, it's insincerity. Some Hollywood hack has just decided to make a super sad love story by hitting the audience with wave upon wave of cliche and and tried far too hard to make it sad, even dumping it's realism one point to just push those teary-eyed teenage girlfriends over the edge a little more. For God's sake everyone, shape up, this is awful.
If you like stuff like Rent, Pearl Harbour and Titanic, Go for it! You'll love it! However, if you like films, erase it from your memory now (no puns intended there Notebook fans by the way).
