Since November 2009Chick Flick Tuesday: The Notebook
May 4th, 2010 by Chloe
Chick Flick Tuesday highlights the best chick flicks in the movie world as well as bringing you news on upcoming chick flick releases as well as letting you all know about which chick lit books are being made into chick flick movies!
You may have seen my tweets over the weekend that I was watching a movie called The Notebook, and I loved it so much that I just had to choose it for this week’s Chick Flick! It’s based on a book of the same name by Nicholas Sparks and stars Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdam as young lovers Noah and Allie. But that’s not all - there’s a lovely and touching story going on between two elderly residents at an old person’s home too with a hidden secret. It’s utterly charming, made me cry more than once and is just a fab movie to settle down to in the evenings! If you haven’t seen it yet and are a huge fan of romantic movies, then make sure you see The Notebook as soon as you can!
“In a modern-day nursing home, a kindhearted man (James Garner) reads a tender story to another patient (Gena Rowlands). The story begins during one glorious summer in small-town South Carolina in the early 1940s. Noah Calhoun (Ryan Gosling) is a blue-collar log mill worker who courts the wealthy and sheltered Allie Nelson (Rachel McAdams). Before long, sparks are flying and the pair is in love. But eventually Allie’s snobby parents force their separation, and when World War II arrives, Noah heads overseas to serve his country. In the meantime, Allie becomes a nurse and falls for another man (James Marsden), to Noah’s dismay. Nonetheless, he buys and fixes up the mansion he promised Allie he would one day restore, and when he and Allie reunite just before her wedding, their love blossoms once again. Decades later, in the nursing home, the story reaches its heartfelt conclusion.”

Gosh, I really disliked the book. The film seemed interesting from what I’ve seen of it online, but the book was just painfully bad. Still might see the film though, it can’t be worse than the book, heh.
I’m not a big fan of Nicholas Sparks’s writing. I have watched this film. I didn’t really like it until the second viewing. I didn’t feel a connection with the characters at first.
I have never read any of nicholas sparks books as I tried to read “a walk to remember” and it kind of ruined it for me as the film is one of the best films ever. I would like to see Dear John and The last song as they look good movies. I perfere his books been based on the film rather than the book.
I’ve only seen the movie once and I still cry thinking about it.
The Notebook movie would always put a tear on my eyes, i love this movie very very much “
