Why I did not like 'The Notebook'

Rating: 1/10 (15 February 2005)

The beginning and middle of this movie was really great and what I was expecting. The ending however was not. I still won't say how it ends but I was in tears for about 30 minutes. I felt stupid crying over a movie but this really got to me. I rented it on Valentines day because I thought it would be a good romance movie to watch, but I was hit with a ton of bricks. For about the last 10 - 15 minutes of the movie it seamed like they were really trying to drag the sadness on and on. I would not recommend this movie to anyone I know.I know that not every movie or love story can end happily ever after, but I feel like they took things too far. They acting was great. You could actually feel the pain the two characters were going through. The whole experience was a little too real for me. Things come out at the end about how the notebook even got wrote, that will break your heart. Seeing the husbands devotion to his wife, and what it is putting him through, seeing his tears, just killed me inside.
