Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
novagirl11 I remember liking it the first time I saw it, but it only gets better the second time and beyond. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are just absolutely perfect! It's an epic, timeless romance and a must-watch film! The film is impeccably put together, with every detail thoughtfully executed and there is a deliberate purpose for every scene, every line, and every element. In case you haven't seen it yet - bring tissues!
lenajz I'm not really a fan of love movies but I've seen this movie 5-6 times and cried my eyes out every single time. The first time I watched it my boyfriend rented it as it was recommended by one of his friends. We both cried our souls out and he is a big man, I've never seen him cry before. Anyways, Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling did an amazing job, their chemistry in the movie is unbelievable. I was shocked when I read that they couldn't stand each other on set in real life. Watching the movie I thought they'd end up being together. I love this movie and I'd recommend it anytime. I noticed some reviews calling the movie 'cliché' 'unrealistic' ...it's based on a true story so I'm not sure what they meant. It's sad when people don't believe in love, my grandpa passed away 2 months after my grandma died and he was a healthy man so I did not find this movie to be cliché or unrealistic at all. Someone also said it's not even about a notebook...the entire movie is about the notebook and bringing back memories from it hence I am pretty sure that a lot of people who reviewed it haven't actually watched the movie.
lala The Notebook is a 2004 American romantic drama film directed by Nick Cassavetes and based on the 1996 novel of Nicholas Sparks. The main actors are Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams who perform the role of two lovers who had a beautiful relationship. The film is a flashback because in the present the woman has Alzheimer, so the man tells her the story to remember her past. The positive things of the film are that it is based on a true story and it is very passionate. It shows the real love between the couple because the man always tries to help her and he stays by her side till her death. The negative things are that in the beginning you can suspect that the couple in the present is the same as the story which he is telling. To sum up, we highly recommend this movie because it's very realistic and makes you feel crazy in love.
Floated2 The Notebook has been considered for many one of the more best selling Nicholas Sparks adaptation films within the last decade and one of the more polarizing romance films. Opening back in 2004, the film was not as much of a hit back then but quickly became to be a bigger film as the years have passed. The first half of the film is quite shaky as we see the introductions of the characters, and the story settling in. We watch it, knowing it must get better and as the second half approaches (about an hour in- once we see Ryan Goslin's character Noah with a beard), the film picks up a lot of momentum and becomes very entertaining and quite a thrilling watch. We can see why this movie has been praised by film goers through the years, though it does have its clichés although they do not get too much in the way of the story. Although predictable (as are most love stories), what works about the Notebook is the ending and the way the film is told within it's storytelling.This film has been described by many as "The Titanic" of the 2000's, and that may be accurate as far as best selling/romance love adaptation book stories. Overall depending on your expectations, this film may not be as cheesy or lovey as one would expect. The chemistry and performances of the leads, along with the storytelling is what set this film apart from other films of the genre.
