Beautiful film. Bring the tissues.

Rating: 9/10 (20 March 2005)

This is one of those beautiful, simply romantic films that takes you out of your own life and drops you full force into the lives and dreams of the characters. While it does follow the path of a typical romance storyline, it is so well-cast, and well-written, that any sort of cliché tends not to matter....You just like the characters that much. I just finished watching this film and hope to watch it again soon. It's worth seeing more than once. Beautifully acted, lovely cinematography and great casting... Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling were wonderful together. And Gena Rowlands and James Garner were fabulous. Bring your tissues and let yourself get into The Notebook. Let it take you away.
