Beautifully done...very heartwarming!

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2009)

This movie was beautiful, romantic, and moving. While there were a few bits in the movie that was nonfactual or unrealistic, I fully enjoyed this movie. If you're not into "romantic, mushy, or emotional films" this is not the movie for you! As I read some of the 1 star reviews, I find myself almost laughing. A 12 year old girl rants and raves about hating chick flicks and yet she watched it anyway. It's annoying when people write reviews for things that they are utterly disinterested in. Anyway, back to the movie! One thing that I found that was nonfactual was the condition of Ally's disease (Alzheimer's). She seemed to have moderate Alzhiemers, yet throughout the movie she switches from the mild stages of Alzheimers to the severe stages. And while it was absolutely wonderful when she remembered that she was Ally and that the man was her husband Noah, a woman in her stage of Alzheimer's would never have been able to remember that fact. However, this movie was still well done. After hearing that Rachel McAdams was playing Ally Calhoun, I was thinking, "Regina George? The super mean clique leader from Mean Girls?" and then "That skinny nerd from Remember the Titans?" But these two actors had great chemistry together and portrayed their characters beautifully. They are truly great actors.
