We DO need more movies like this!!!! A must see, The Notebook

Rating: 9/10 (30 March 2005)

Having not known anything about this movie (that it was a book), my girlfriends at work said "OH, you have to see this movie!" I knew in my area that it didn't last long at the regular theaters and ended up at the 'Cheap Seats' movie theater and was gone before I knew it. So, having said that, I wasn't expecting much when I rented this movie. OH, HOW WRONG I WAS! I rank this movie up there with Forrest Gump, Fried Green Tomatoes, Green Mile, etc...I think you get the picture. Having dealt with similar issues in my family as the older Noah and Allie did, it really hit home. It is beautiful, both in story and in scenery, from beginning to end. Keep plenty of tissues handy! This is a movie worth having in your collection (I most CERTAINLY added it to mine!). The actors were all great, the story line was very believable, easy to follow. I hear that there may be a Notebook 2?? If so, seeing The Notebook, makes me want more of this story. Simply Beautiful!
