...long suspected this to be the case but there's now irrefutable proof. I didn't cry in "The Notebook" and I didn't love the movie. I mean I didn't hate it, but glancing through other reviews there seems to be nothing but glowing reports of heart wrenching, soul touching weeping over this movie. It's my flatmates favourite movie and that's why we watched it, she had been raving about it for months.
Ill confess to being not much of a crier in general, ...

Advantages: The perfect love story Disadvantages: None whatsoever!
The Notebook, which I?m sure a lot of you will already know, is widely known as one of the most romantic films of all time & if you?ve seen this I?m sure you?ll understand why. The Notebook was released 25th June 2004 & was received a mildly reasonable response from the critics, however it did extremely well at the box office, grossing an estimated $115.6 million worldwide on a budget of $30,000,000. The notebook is rated 12 & runs for approximately ...

Advantages: Intense, romantic and very brilliantly made Disadvantages: Stock up on tissues and waterproof mascara!
...easy number one would remain the legendary The Notebook. I would easily rate this among the greatest, most intense love stories I ever watched in my entire life. The element which touched me the most in this brilliant masterpiece would remain that, in opposition to some classic romances, this one actually ends happily- with Allie and Noah flying together in death, forever united at the end of their lives, just like they had been all throughout.

THE NOTEBOOK
INTRODUCTION
'The Notebook' is based on the novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks.
It is a romantic drama set in both the past and present. The film takes place mostly in the 1940's but it fast- forwards about 50 years as the two young lovers find themselves much older and attempting to cope with health problems that have caused the once effervescent young lady to lose most of the memory of her exciting past. ...

Advantages: Great performances Disadvantages: You'll hate it if you're not a fan of romance
The Notebook is a 2004 film based on the book by Nicholas Sparks. It is a romantic film which is incredibly well presented, and be warned - it may bring a tear to your eye. The film met with mixed reviews, and it is definitely one for those who like a bit of a weepie film. In terms of emotional feeling, I class on the same level as Tuesdays With Morrie, starring Jack Lemmon and Hank Azaria.
The story features an old man reading a story to an old ...

Advantages: Moving, beautiful love story Disadvantages: Makes me cry!!
...film on Channel 4 at the weekend (I have the DVD also but just had to watch it) I've decided to review it for anyone who hasn't seen it. Although, I see that a lot of people have already seen it as the UK premier on Channel 4 attracted 1 million viewers!!
The Notebook is a beautiful romance that still makes me cry after numerous viewings. It is poignant, romantic, sad, hopeful and uplifting all rolled into one.
The Notebook was actually developed ...

Advantages: fantastic story, makes you appreciate your loved one!! Disadvantages: made me cry!!
...friend of mine gave me The Notebook to watch and I knew instantly that my fella would not want to watch it so I took the opportunity whilst he was working in Oxford to watch it. As a rule, although I do like to watch a good love story, i don;t always purchase these kind of films, however having heard so many good reviews I thought it would make a change to watch something different to the norm for me.

...romance written and directed in the old-style. If you don't like 'chick flicks', 'weepies' or any film that involves hankies then don't watch this.
This movie is, as are all good movies based on a novel. The novel also called 'The Notebook' was written by a guy named Nicholas Spark's. He managed to write this passionate tale of romance in about six months, it was published in 1996 and was on the bestsellers list for almost two years. Similar to ...

...South Africa, but one of the girls had been raving about it, said it reduced her to tears, so I thought I'd give it a go.
Now I hardly ever cry at films (Land Before Time, being the only one I can remember), even Gladiator, which is increadibly sad at the end only had me choked, but this.....left me with tears streaming down my face. At first I thought it was due to the fact that I might have been missing a certain someone, but no it would appear ...

Advantages: A portrayal of unconditional intense love based on a true story Disadvantages: None!
The Notebook is easily among the greatest love stories I ever watched! What I totally love the most about this movie is that opposed to some fantastic classic romances, this one actually ends happily. Of course, there are some major alterations from the book- the two of them do not die at the end, Allie seems somewhat more fiery in the movie, as well as some minor plot alterations.
I am usually someone who loves the books more than the movies ...
