why so well considered?

Rating: 5/10 (13 August 2006)

In this film there are two mixed stories: at 40's Noah and Allie meet themselves at the summer in a little town of South USA. They quickly fell in love despite the fact that they are from very different families, which will cause them lots of troubles. lots of years later, in an asylum, an old man reads to a woman the story of Allie and Noah, that it is written in an old crappy notebook. This movie is considered one of the best of the year, but i can't agree. Despite the fact that the script is very good, the development of the story, the idea of the power of love...The election of the main young pair splits it all, I cannot find any kind of chemistry between them, they never seem (specially she) comfortable in their parts, which make the young's story (the most important) very annoying and hard to watch. On the other hand, the old's story is much better, good acting and directing, and, as it goes after, and the fact that it is VERY well ended, it leaves you a good feeling, but I have found most of the two hours before quite boring; which has caused me to put it not as good mark as other people has done.
