About this movie

Directed by Nick Cassavetes, this adaptation of author Nicholas Sparks' bestselling novel revolves around Noah Calhoun's (James Garner) regular visits to a female patron (Gena Rowlands) of an area nursing home. Rather than bore her with the inanities of everyday life, Calhoun reads from an old, faded notebook containing the sweeping account of a young couple (Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams) whose love affair was tragically put to a halt after their separation in the midst of World War II. Seven years later, the couple was reunited, and, despite having taken radically different paths, they found themselves unable to resist the call of a second chance. The Notebook also features Joan Allen, Sam Shepard, and Kevin Connolly.

Ratings and reviews

I havent seen this movie. So like any other person curious about anything i read the reviews. Just in case you didnt know a review is a sentence or two about how you felt about the film ...a personal rating. So to the douche bag dumbasses who went into detail as how the movie ended.. I just wanna thank you for ruining it for me. Everyone knows that you dont give away how it ends!!! Straight retarded. It was a review not a summary or play by play... Hats off to you.. Your the brightest ding dong ever!

As a guy I just want to take yet another chance to diss on the world MOST ANNOYING CHICK FLICK!!!! The ONLY good part of the movie is the fact that James Garner is it, but you sheltered girls prob never watched The Rockford Files or his other BETTER shows... just saying, grow up find a new flick

This movie, along with other mega popular hits like Twilight, is everything that is wrong with American culture. People buy into these contrived garbage fests too easily when it's plain to see the creators just wanted to make a quick buck. Go see a GOOD love movie, like Titanic or something.
