Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2005)

When I saw the preview for this, I thought "Another cheesy, shallow romance" but guess what? It wasn't. Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling have chemistry, charm and talent to boot. Although the plot is overused, it translates on screen as a pure original. To repeat what other comments said, the scenery is beautiful beyond belief and it fits perfectly with the story. The young Noah and Allie made the film exciting and easy on the eyes. However,the older versions of Noah and Allie(played wonderfully by James Garner and Gena Rowlands) make the movie into a true LOVE story and pulls the tears out of your eyes. Any film about a love story I ever saw before always gave me a thirst for more. The Notebook is the first and only that ever satisfied me.
