The Notebook left me speechless

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2006)

I bought the DVD of The Notebook today, since it was on sale at the mall. I was persuaded to do so by friends since it was characterized as the "best movie ever." I therefore decided to take a chance. After watching it, I am happy to say I was not disappointed. This movie was the ultimate love story. It was not a mushy piece of crap like some other love stories that have no chemistry, emotions, plot, and so on. I was so moved by the movie, and even caught myself falling for Noah. His character has a love for Ally that all girls dream about having. It was pure and real. There was more to it than physical attraction, there was true emotional depth. This depth was portrayed to viewers throughout the movie. I even wanted to ring Ally's mother by the neck a couple of times, because I was so into it. The acting was phenomenal and the story itself was wonderfully captivating. This is definitely not a movie I will be leaving on the shelf to collect dust!! If you feel like renting a movie, I highly recommend this one... or you could take a chance and buy the DVD like I did. If for some odd reason, you actually dislike it, there are a hundred of your female friends who would love this movie as a gift. Trust me! Most likely though, you will love it!
