This film lived up to its reviews

Rating: Null/10 (17 July 2004)

Maybe "The Notebook" is a woman's film but it was a "two hankie" type for me and I'm a man!
I'm not as old as the characters. who are about 81 as the film opens. I was nine when Pearl Harbor happened, but I could relate to them, as they are separated by World War II.
The setting is South Carolina but the second unit worked in Montreal (not otherwise identified in the credits)--hence, the cold breath vapors as actors speak their lines in what are not supposed to be cold-weather scenes! But don't let that take away from what is an old-fashioned love story with a different twist at the end.
