A little bit short of Amazing.

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2007)

This movie kind of reminds me of Romeo & Juliet. It pretty much has the same plot. The typical couple where Allie is on summer vacation and meets her love, Noah. Allie's parents don't approve of her love because he's poor and whatnot. It seems as if Noah and Allie have an unconditional love for one another. Until one night Noah and Allie get into a fight because she didn't tell him that she was moving to New York for College. They say they want to break up but they know that it's just another fight and they will reconcile until both find out that Allie is moving back home the very next day. Noah writes her every day for a year, but Allie never gets the letters due to her mother keeping it from her. Allie goes onto become a Nurse where Noah goes into the army, when Noah comes back he finds that his father sold the house and got him a loan so he can purchase his dream house which he promised Allie that he would re-build. Allie meets a wounded soldier who asks her out on a date, they fall in love and he ends up asking her to marry him. One day Allie sees in the newspaper that Noah and Her "dream house" has been re-built and she decides to visit him. Both Noah and Allie reconcile and now Allie has to decide who she wants to be with. The thing that I didn't like about this movie was this whole movie was a story being told my Old Noah to Old Allie at a retirement home. Near the end we want to know who Allie chose, Noah or Lon and this is when the viewer (us) finds out that the old man telling the story all along was Noah and the old lady was Allie. This was HORRIBLE in my opinion because it shows no footage of WHAT Allie did and HOW she ended up making her decision. It just showed her saying she loves her soon to be husband and next thing we know she shows up at Noah's house with her suitcase. Then the last 10 minutes of the movie is Old Noah and Old Allie dancing and Old Allie who now has some mental disorders ends up having some panic attack, it was just a mess of an ending. Anyway the way it ends is Old Noah and Old Allie die in the bed together, credits roll. This movie was a 10 the whole way until the awful ending, which in conclusion I give an 8. Would've been an AWESOME movie if it didn't end in a result of a story being told and just played out as a movie.
