They don't often make films like this anymore.

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2004)

If people say that they don't make good romantic films anymore they obviously haven't seen The Notebook. With terrific acting talents and a brilliant director this movie is a cinematic triumph in an age of trashy comedies and over hyped action movies. Where most films have to try hard to differentiate themselves from the rest of the pack, the Notebook (on its own merit) stands out and gives people an actual story and plot that pulls you in and makes you feel ever emotion. Even as I sat in the theater I don't think I saw a single dry eye by the end of the movie. Everyone from teenage girls to the elderly were feeling the romantic emotions of The Notebook.
