It Wasn't Even About A Notebook!

Rating: 1/10 (20 August 2008)

OK,you might find this unusual,but if you are a hater of this movie and Chick Flicks in general(like me),then you won't be surprised.In fact,you might be delighted.See,i'm a 12 year old girl and i HATE chick flicks,because they are so sappy,unrealistic,uninteresting,WAY too cliché,and it gets to your head if you don't watch it.And when girls fall for this ****,they will start making their own fantasy about how life and love is,which will ultimately go wrong.Every time my mom and sisters talk about Chick Flicks,it makes me gag.They always say it is the best movie ever which i know for a fact that neither of those movies the deem as "the best movie ever" are no match to "Casablanca" and "The Godfather".
Since i was bored,i decided to look into the bad reviews of this movie since i love bad reviews since they are so funny and spot on and i found myself laughing in delight at all of the jokes about how awful and predictable this film was and how i wasn't the only one that hated this film.I knew i wasn't the only one,i couldn't have been the only one,but still.So,when i was reading the reviews,i started thinking,why not do one of my own?Since i love doing reviews.And i never tried a bad one before either!
So,this is where the review comes in.I'll start saying how i first saw this.My mom just took the movie form our grandma,she had a stroke recently at the time,so we just took the film anyway.We were all so psyched and i was psyched because i thought i would finally see a good movie.I couldn't have been more WRONG!
First of all,like all Chick Flicks,the story,if there actually was one,was boring,unoriginal,uninteresting,and the worst of them all,predictable and cliché.A boy and girl fall in love,they are both very different but still in love,then the parents separate them,and they still love each other of course.They don't even really try to contact each other other than Noah that f****** p**** writing 365 unanswered letters a year.Why didn't Allie write to him,huh?Didn't she LOVE HIM?!If she did,she didn't love him THAT much.The characters are extremely one dimensional,have no depth whatsoever,i really couldn't care less what happened to them.
Besides James Garner and Gena Rowlands,the acting was so horrible and forced.Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams were so annoying and unconvincing as the shallow characters.They had NO chemistry whatsoever(If you want to see AMAZING chemistry,REAL chemistry,watch Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in "To Have and Have Not",and you can easily see the difference between good chemistry and bad).Noah(Ryan Gosling) irritated me the out of all the characters cause he was the typical boring,uninteresting,shallow,and so called "sweet" boy,i mean seriously,no girl in her right mind would date him,in fact,some people might even think he's hiding in the closet somewhere.Seriously,when it comes to a heterosexual relationship-there only needs to be ONE *****,not TWO!What irritates me most is that my mom and sisters LIKE that kind of guy.I mean seriously,my mom and one of my sisters were talking about my sis' ex-boyfriend and after mom said maybe he was too "bad" for her,she suggested that she date someone like "that guy in The Notebook",and right then and there,i rolled my eyes.Guys like that are,what i said,******!Rachel McAdams was irritating as Allie with all her screaming and ****,if she were in a Beatles concert,she would have been PERFECT.Now Rachel McAdams isn't a bad actress,she was good in "Mean Girls" and "Wedding Crashers",but she was just irritating in this movie.Maybe that's the scripts fault.
And besides,the movie was barely about a notebook except for the first and last five minutes in the film.They might as well have called it "Not Another ****** Chick Flick".
Plus Nicholas Sparks' books are a piece of **** anyway,they are all preachy and predictable and basically the same **** kind of story over and over and over again.Read Ian McEwan,his stories are much more better,convincing,in depth,and realistic and everything else The Notebook isn't.
I'll probably edit this review another time,but just listen what i say:Don't Watch Chick Flicks Unless You Are Going To Believe In It Like Fairy Tales.
