A Love story for anyone who's been passionately devoted to another.

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2004)

The Notebook will send you home contemplating your own life and loves. It was funny, it was romantic--but it was not one of those overly predictable romantic comedies. The Notebook was heartfelt...truly for those who have loved another with every bit of their body and soul. Young viewers may not appreciate the depths with which we are capable of loving another. My first impression during the opening was On Golden Pond, then a little Fried Green Tomatoes. But I was surprised by the storyline and impressed by the acting.
The beginning of the main character's romance is so believable you forget it's a movie you're watching and not home videos of your grandparents' first date. James Garner's character is phenomenal...his emotional scene will jerk the tears right out of your eyes! This is one of the few movies I would pay full price to see--but bring the Kleenex---where are the Oscars when you want them?
