Every woman's perfect love story

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2004)

If you enjoyed "The Thorn Birds", "Gone With the Wind", "Love Story", and "A Star Is Born", you are bound to enjoy this movie. The story is every woman's heart's desire. The choice may remind the viewer of "Sophie's Choice." And if you are a fan of James Garner, you will be so happy to see Maverick/Rockford again in a wonderful role. The story is told in medias res, that is, with flashbacks to bring the viewer to the present. Garner is reading from a notebook to a memory impaired lady. She looks forward to their sessions and he is devoted to reading to her. The story he reads is very special. The pictures painted are beautiful remembrances and artistically presented. Besides a beautiful story, The Notebook is beautiful photographically.
