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.

Full review
this is undeniably the single best chick-flick in the history of chick-flicks. all females should watch this film and i guarantee all males will be glad they took their girlfriends to watch this. every girl i know has cried during this movie and missed their boyfriends after watching it. :P it is the most romantic love story ever written. it is about an American boy and a girl who fall truly, madly, deeply in love and then share an utterly adorably and enviable relationship only to be torn apart. i won't spoil the rest of the story, but if you are a female YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST WATCH THIS FILM AT LEAST ONCE. I have seen it 4 times and have cried every time, the story is beautiful and the acting is convincing.
