Product Description
A boy from the wrong side of the tracks falls in love with a rich girl, and it seems no one approves of the relationship.
Amazon.com
When you consider that old-fashioned tearjerkers are an endangered species in Hollywood, a movie like The Notebook can be embraced without apology. Yes, it's syrupy sweet and clogged with clichés, and one can only marvel at the irony of Nick Cassavetes directing a weeper that his late father John--whose own films were devoid of saccharine sentiment--would have sneered at. Still, this touchingly impassioned and great-looking adaptation of the popular Nicholas Sparks novel has much to recommend, including appealing young costars (Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams) and appealing old costars (James Garner and Gena Rowlands, the director's mother) playing the same loving couple in (respectively) early 1940s and present-day North Carolina. He was poor, she was rich, and you can guess the rest; decades later, he's unabashedly devoted, and she's drifting into the memory-loss of senile dementia. How their love endured is the story preserved in the titular notebook that he reads to her in their twilight years. The movie's open to ridicule, but as a delicate tearjerker it works just fine. Message in a Bottle and A Walk to Remember were also based on Sparks novels, suggesting a triple-feature that hopeless romantics will cherish. --Jeff Shannon

I loved Noah's devotion to her especially all the way to the end of their lives. Very touching. I've watched it twice and cried both times. =) It's best to watch it with the lights off, your phones off and no distractions.
The Note Book July 2, 2010

I absolutely Loved this movie! I'd have to say one of the best love stories I've ever watched. But at the same time it stirred the emotions for me as well. As my mother has Alzheimers she's in the final stages, I can't think of any other illness more sad then this one. James Garner and Gena Rowlands brings not only the realization of this to life in the movie The Note Book, but also shows what true love is really all about! Standing by the love of your life thru the best of times as well as through the hardest of times. Speaking for my self I can't imagine anything more terrible then to lose your own identity, forgetting your past as well as the present, forgetting your loved ones, but then for a short time regain flashes of memory, to know your spouse for a brief moment only,The Notebook (Limited Edition Gift Set) [Blu-ray] to lose that cherished memory again within moments. To forget your children, their names, to forget your true love and the life you've shared. Rachel Mc Adams and Ryan Gosling their performances were excellent as well! You could feel the love these characters had for each other, and you longed to see them reunite, which they finally do. Then sadly to be separated once more by such a sad illness towards the end of their days. But the ending was so touching so heartwarming. Just an incredible movie! I give it five stars, I'd given it ten if it were possible. Yours truly Garry E. Lewis Author of The Rileyville Mystery and Curse of the Devil's Wolf Strap.
