Did I walk into the wrong movie?

Rating: Null/10 (21 October 2011)

Such a silly pretentious movie. I usually love Ryan Gosling but I think he let himself down by agreeing to be a part of this movie. The only thing he adds to this movie is eye candy. There is no reason as to why he sparks up a relationship with his neighbour Carey Mulligan and son. He goes around in that meaningless jacket with a toothpick in his mouth trying to be original and cool, yet this is so transparent. Few actors can pull off an act like this and make it believable (i.e Al Pacino, Robert De Niro etc) but Noah from the Notebook??? I don't think so. Kids who watch the news all of a sudden and think they know and appreciate everything about the world are the only people who would pretend to enjoy this movie. Maybe for its ''artistic interpretation of a lost soul'' or whatever makes them feel smarter than the average individual. The soundtrack is amazing and added to the movie to make it just watchable.
