Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2005)

I, like many others, was expecting the typical romance/love story. And as it started out, when we discover that Allie is the rich girl and Noah is the country boy, I figured I was getting what I anticipated. But as I watched the film, I realized there was more to the story. I don't want to get into it too much, but needless to say, I was very happy by the end. Also, it has to be noted that Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams have tremendous chemistry on screen. Also, Gena Rowlands and James Garner give moving performances in their respective roles. Although I found one of the plot twists quite easy to identify, it was developed in a very interesting way, which didn't ruin it for the viewer. I unfortunately have little time to read for leisure with my hectic class schedule. However, I am pretty sure I will pick up the next Nicholas Sparks novel. All in all, a very moving tell of human emotion which brings you in to the story.
