Based on the celebrated novel by Nicholas Sparks, THE NOTEBOOK tells the story of a young couple who overcome insurmountable odds to experience the true power of love. In a...
more...modern-day nursing home, a kindhearted man (James Garner) reads a tender story to another patient (Gena Rowlands). The story begins during one glorious summer in small-town South Carolina in the early 1940s. Noah Calhoun (Ryan Gosling) is a blue-collar log mill worker who courts the wealthy and sheltered Allie Nelson (Rachel McAdams). Before long, sparks are flying and the pair is in love. But eventually Allie's snobby parents force their separation, and when World War II arrives, Noah heads overseas to serve his country. In the meantime, Allie becomes a nurse and falls for another man (James Marsden), to Noah's dismay. Nonetheless, he buys and fixes up the mansion he promised Allie he would one day restore, and when he and Allie reunite just before her wedding, their love blossoms once again. Decades later, in the nursing home, the story reaches its heartfelt conclusion. Directed with extreme sensitivity by Nick Cassavetes (son of co-star Gena Rowlands), THE NOTEBOOK is aided immensely by the naturalistic performances of Gosling and McAdams, whose chemistry is palpable.

I only recently purchased this DVD while shopping with a friend. This has a beautiful love story, the most romantic film since the titanic and made me have a good cry. This is a must see film which shows a rollarcoaster of emotions. I took this DVD round to a friends for a femaile film night and we all had a good cry but wanted to watch it again. I have watched the DVD so many times and it still has the same impact and never gets boring i advise any to still buy this film. This film is more of a chick flick or a movie when u have just been finished by a boyfriend or girlfriend and shows a real fairytale romance and how love brings people back together.
This Dvd is based on the noveln written by nicholas SParks. Ryan Gosling and Rachel Mc adams play Noah and Allie as teenagers, and james Garner and Gena Rowlands play Noah and Allie when they are elderly. This story is based on two teenagers of different class falling in love but being splitby Allies parents who believes that Noah isnt right for her. After being split for several years they mett and thier passion for each other is rekindled, which makes Allie chose between NOah and her husband to be.
