Superb

Rating: Null/10 (13 June 2004)

This was one of the best novels I had ever read, so I was skeptical about it being turned into a movie. Fortunately, my fears were put to rest when I watched this movie. The story was well adapted and the message was properly conveyed. The cast was phenomenal and really seemed to put their hearts into their performances, especially James Garner. He was so touching in the end that it brought most of the audience to tears. I don't think there was a single person in the theater who was not crying at the end of this movie. I think part of The Notebook's appeal is that many people can relate to loving someone who has Alzheimers and must overcome the fact that the person has no recollection of some of the most important events that occurred in their life. The story of Noah and Allie is so inspirational to those who have found their soul mates and also for those who are still looking. Everything about this movie was spectacular, and people should definitely go see it for themselves.
