Transcript of Featured Review

Hi I'd like to do a review of the Notebook which was actually a takeoff on a book written by Nicholas Sparks. I have first read the book and then later once the movie came out and this such a good movie. I mean it's just a love story but it's just amazing and it's such a good looking thrill. It's just a really nice story. I'm sure you are going to enjoy it. I have seen it quite a few times now since I really liked it so much the first time. I had to buy and get the DVD and I've watched it many times since but if you are looking for something that's a little bit different but just nice and happy and I guess like a nice mushy love story it's really good. Even my husband who doesn't really like very many love stories thought this was a great movie. I have to say that I have read the book quite a while before I saw the movie but I think that it was very close. The things that I do remember from the book were definitely in the movie. Another nice thing is that he wrote a sequel to this for the book called the wedding and maybe who knows maybe one day they will actually do the sequel to the movie of that which definitely would be great. And as I said this is really great and I really recommend it to anyone looking for a nice love story to watch.

Summary
When you consider that old-fashioned tearjerkers are an endangered species in Hollywood, a movie like The Notebook can be embraced without apology. Yes, it's syrupy sweet and clogged with clichés, and one can only marvel at the irony of Nick Cassavetes directing a weeper that his late father John--whose own films were devoid of saccharine sentiment--would have sneered at. Still, this touchingly impassioned and great-looking adaptation of the popular Nicholas Sparks novel has much to recommend, including appealing young costars (Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams) and appealing old costars (James Garner and Gena Rowlands, the director's mother) playing the same loving couple in (respectively) early 1940s and present-day North Carolina. He was poor, she was rich, and you can guess the rest; decades later, he's unabashedly devoted, and she's drifting into the memory-loss of senile dementia. How their love endured is the story preserved in the titular notebook that he reads to her in their twilight years. The movie's open to ridicule, but as a delicate tearjerker it works just fine. Message in a Bottle and A Walk to Remember were also based on Sparks novels, suggesting a triple-feature that hopeless romantics will cherish. --Jeff Shannon
