so-so

Rating: Null/10 (18 July 2004)

I went to the theater equipped with a box of Kleenex to watch this film. Let's just say I didn't really need them. The story had real potential but the acting was flawed. Ryan Gosling gives an amazing performance as Noah, but the character of Allie was misinterpreted by Rachel McAdams. Allie is supposed to be a very intelligent young woman yet she is portrayed as a ditz. The movie strays a little from the book, which I read a few years ago, and I hate when movies don't capture the brilliance from the literature. If you want to watch a sappy love story that will make you cry and leave something with you, don't watch this one. Read the book instead.
