Default The Notebook



Alright, so this isn't exactly a new movie, but I just saw it a few days ago on DVD. Anyway, I thought it was really good, did anyone else see it?

I got dragged to watch it with my best girl friend.


Sadly......very.....very.....sadly.....It's pretty good.



Better in the company of a girl.

There's nothing wrong with liking a romance. Its just those stupid romance movies (and novels) that follow the same exact formula and all that should cause shame in those who enjoy it.

Yeah, they started playing it on TV so I've been meaning to watch it. As far as I know, it's a guaranteed cry film for gals. :P

You're all idiots. (Just kidding)

I watched this with my girlfriend expecting a decent romance movie, with some romantic scenes, good story, fun characters, but what I got was the worst chick flick I have seen in a long time. The only decently romantic part of the whole movie is the carnival scene at the start, and from that part on it just gets worse and worse. It is no longer romantic, nor is it funny, nor do you even develop any sort of feelings for the characters. Everything they do is unrealistic, and it's just a cookie cutter romance movie devoid of meaning.

The scenes involving the elderly couple also really pissed me off. That is not what Alzheimer's/Dementia is like at all. The dialogue for that part (and the rest of the movie) was ridiculous. "If you're a bird, I'm a bird" comes to mind.

Even my girlfriend thought that it was one of the worst chick flicks she'd ever seen.

Overrated garbage.
