Mixed Emotions

Rating: Null/10 (11 July 2004)

All right. I admit, it was a tearjerker and it was sweeet...but hardly. My friend, who I'd seen the movie with, kept going on and on about how sad it was. And, it was. But, compared to the book by Nicholas Sparks, the movie was not a must see. The book made EVERYTHING more romantic and involved. The movie-was just another wannabe love story. If there had been no book, the movie and it's story would have been excellent, but since it was supposed to be the book, it was not so good...In fact, they should have called the movie, "Something Like the Notebook". I think you should read the book instead of seeing the movie. I think the movie would have been better if it had just tried a little harder to follow the book and make a more romantic setting...but everyone who saw the movie and didn't read the book probably thinks I'm nuts! but I'm not. They book was 100% better.
