what is the notebook?
I thought The Notebook was going to be a schmaltzy Movie of the Week type thing, James admitted. Maybe he was just jealous Allie ended up with Noah or something. *shrug* 9. The Notebook is Ryan Gosling's most successful film. Despite the fact that the movie came out back in 2005 and Ryan's gone on to star in major films like Drive and Crazy, Stupid, Love with Emma Stone, as of 2012, his most financially successful film is still The Notebook, having made $105 million, when adjusted for inflation.
