Beautiful love story!

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2004)

This is most definitely the greatest movie I've seen all year. Rachel McAdams is my new favorite actress! She was incredible as Allie and I couldn't imagine anyone else playing that role more convincingly than her. Ryan Gosling was almost perfect for the role of Noah. The only thing I didn't like about him was his hot temper in the movie as opposed to the calm character in the novel. But I guess it did make for more dramatic scenes in the movie than they would have been if the book had been followed exactly. All of the characters were just like I had imagined them when I read the book. The book was, of course, much better than the movie, but that is always the case when a novel is made into a film. Nicholas Sparks is a genius; he really knows how to tug at your heartstrings! Everything in the story was fabulously romantic and deeply touching. The Notebook was truly remarkable and I will most definitely be purchasing it the minute it's out on video!
