Overrated

Rating: 3/10 (15 November 2008)

Before I watched this movie, I was looking for a nice drama to watch and since everyone was telling me that this is such a great and wonderful and warm and fuzzy and emotional film, I gave it a shot. During those two hours I was just waiting for something great to happen. I thought the movie was going to be remarkable, exceptional and all that, but I am very disappointed. I think this movie is just a cliché after a cliché. The guy is poor and she is rich and her parents won't let her be with him - what a classic. Of course she is all nice and doesn't know how to have fun in a way only he knows - doing irrational things which are supposed to make the characters feel as if that's the only right way to enjoy their "love" - lying in the middle of the road (I don't think so). And that is supposed to be fun. After 2 minutes, I knew that the old man and the old lady are actually Noah and Allie... There are no quotes to remember, nothing interesting and unexpected. Of course, I guess we all knew she will come back to him in the end, because she loves him - dirty, dumb guy with whom she fights all the time. It is obvious that she is only physically attracted to him, she acts like a really stupid girl. I have to admit that her fiancé is a little too perfect, kind of phony. I gave this movie 3 stars, because it isn't all that bad. It did make me feel tender in the end, but only a bit, nothing spectacular. I just don't understand how people keep falling for these things over and over again. It certainly does not deserve a 10. And I apologize if I didn't spell everything right, because English is not my native language...
