The greatest love story

Rating: 10/10 (18 October 2006)

This movie has got to be one of the greatest love stories ever written. Not only was the plot tremendous, and the characters perfectly cast, but the movie was actually better than the book, which is almost unheard of. James Garner was at his best as the tender hearted husband who takes care of his life-long love (played by Gena Rowlands). Rachel McAdams, who plays his first love in their younger years is perfect in her role as a sexy, energetic young women who has to make the hardest decision in her life. What makes this movie so great, is the chord it touches, amongst all of us. We all remember our first love, and the mistakes we made with that person, and the consequences we live with every day of our lives. Whether it became a long endearing love story or the nagging thought of what might have been.
