This movie taken from a novel by Nicholas Sparks is everything you would want it to be. It's romance at it's best. It's a look into a lifetime of love through the eyes of an aging couple and done with supurb acting on the parts of everyone involved. One of my very favorites!

Just because something is cute does not make it good. If I acted upon every romantic possibility then i would have cheated much in my life. The way that rachel McAdams lies to her fiance the night before she cheats on him just made my skin cringe. Looking past the awful plot it was done reasonably well. That is hollywood for you. The budget was there for a worthless movie. This movie will go down as the ultimate glorification of adultery. the fact that so many people enjoy teh film makes me wonder about american society. It would be okay for me to return to my high school sweetheart because we never had closure. hmmmmm.... interesting. Cheating is cheating and lying is even worse.

The movie The Notebook is by far one of my favorite movies that I own. It is a very romantic movie that plays on all your emotions. You can feel the love build between Noah and Ally as they start spending more time together throughout the summer, you can feel the hatred for Ally's parents as you watch them try to come between Ally and Noah, and you cannot help but cry at the ending because it is so sweet! The Notebook is definitely a chick flick, but it is not too over the top, so it is a movie that guys can also enjoy. I know many guys that have watched and really liked this movie. Girls, this is a movie that will leave you wanting and wishing for a prince charming to come and sweep you up off your feet, just like Noah did to Ally.
The Notebook is about Ally, a rich girl from the city, who spends her summer in the south and meets Noah, a poor southern boy. During the first half of the movie you watch as Ally and Noah fall more and more in love and as the summer goes on they start spending every waking hour together. Ally's parents see the budding romance between Ally and Noah and try to come between them because they do not like Noah. You watch in horror as her parents manage to split them up at the end of the summer and you end up hating them for what they did to Ally and Noah. However, years later Ally and Noah find each other again and their love is ignited once again.
The acting by Rachel McAdams, Ryan Gosling, James Garner, and Gena Rowland is phenomenal. They were able to get into their roles so well and really draw you into the movie. The portrayal of their different emotions really helps you to feel what they are feeling.
The movie is rated PG 13 and I feel that it is a fair rating. There are a few intense love scenes and I do not think that these scenes would be appropriate for someone under 13. A little later in the film there is also a scene about the war that I would not recommend for someone under 13, as it is a little graphic.
The Notebook is based off the novel written by Nicholas Sparks. Not having read the novel myself, I am not sure how well they go together. A sound track was released with the movie and it seems to be put together fairly well. The DVD comes with two disks, one that is the full screen version and a second that is the wide screen version and has all the special features. The special features include twelve deleted scenes with the optional director commentary and the option to watch the movie with commentary from the director and the author, Nicholas Sparks.
All in all this is a great movie for a day that you want a romantic movie. I would recommend it to anyone!

This is a great movie because it¿s romantic, a good story and its amazing. The movie is about two teenagers named Allie and Noah fell in love on a summer romance. They were quickly separated by Allies rich parents who didn¿t think that Noah wasn¿t right for her. Many years pasted away and when they meet again it was as if they fell in love all over again. Then Allie had to choose between Noah and her Fiancee This move is romantic because Allie and Noah fell in love by a night to then selves out watching the stop light and dancing in the road. Then when Allie was gone Noah bought the house he wanted and fixed it the way Allie said she wanted it. When Allie moved back to town for a couple days she went to Noah¿s house to visit him because she saw him in the news paper and fell back in love with him and so she dumped her Fiancee so she could marry Noah. Then at the end Noah and Allie die together in the same bed. This movie is a great love story because Noah and Allie have a life time love when there far away from each other. This movie is amazing because the actors in the movie is like it really happening right I front of you. When Allie and Noah is mad they really look mad because, they scream at each other and slap each other and everything a mad couple would do, In he movie when there sad they look like there really upset when they start to tear up and start crying. It¿s just so amazing and realistic get it now. You seriously need to buy The Notebook right away. So get off your lazy butt off the computer and get it now! You will NEVER regret buying this movie! This movie is just wonderful! You will love it and I know that for a fact. You can get it at Wal Mart K mart anywhere! That¿s the great part about it! If you have Netflix or anything like that watch it now!

Johnnyme you are intitled to your own opinion but i must say i disagree. This movie is not about adultrey, its about how we make mistakes and how we are not perfect because we are only human. But this woman is a little strange i'll admit. I dont get her. i understand her point of view however....

Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.This is by far one of my favorite romance movies. This movie is incredibly romantic, from the beginning till end. I cried my eyes out with the end though. This movie is a must have in your movie collection. The movie is basically a Romeo and Juliette in the 1940s. Ally a rich girl from the city falls in love with a poor, southern boy, named Noah. After their intense romance in the summer Ally's parents forbid her to see him. But their love is too strong to be shattered. It's not until seven years do they rekindle their love.

I Also Recommend:
This is the BEST love story ever! Very emotional with the use of all feelings of happiness, anger, sadness, etc. The film was so well portrayed and acted out that one would think it was based on a true story. Brilliant acting by everyone!

I gave this to 2 of my daughters. It is my favorite movie. My 1 daughter could never catch it on tv when her husband was not home. Now she can watch it anytime. My other daughter love it also
Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.If you have a dry eye at the end of this movie, you would have to be stone cold. I've seen grown (and young) men cry at this movie (I love a guy who isn't afraid to express his true emotions - a real man). Although the story focuses mostly on the main couple in their youthful years, it is the portion of the movie about the couple in their sunset years that will make your lips quiver and your eyes shed a tear (or more). I think most anyone would like to experience a love like this in their lifetime, a truly passionate and un-dying love. And that KISS...hell yeah, that kiss... watch the movie and you'll know EXACTLY what I'm talking about!

My wife has left me for reasons she knows best, but little does she know this is how I would take care of her till my dying breath. Some day she may realize this again before it's to late. This will be her last Christmas present from me, but hopefully she can shake the memories of her past to come home once more.<BR/>Love RJB
