Wonderful love story

Rating: 10/10 (6 November 2006)

I love romantic dramas. What made this one so much better than say the Lake House or Sweet November was that the movie was very believable. All the actors did a fine job and they had a great director. The movie is so much better than the book. The book just dragged on in the end. The idea of the story is great and heartbreaking but it was just presented much better in film. I never heard of Ryan Gosling before this film but now I have a great appreciation for him as actor as well as Rachel McAdams. They were the perfect couple who had amazing chemistry on screen. They will definitely become America's Sweethearts even though they hail from Canada. James Gardner and Gena Rowlands were outstanding as well but the film left me wanting to see more scenes of the young couple because they were so electrifying and passionate. The older couple were sweet and heartbreaking.
