Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

sross-14564 I agree with the review that said we were not given a chance to invest in the characters. I actually cringed when they first kissed. It just didn't fit. The letters didn't make since. He barely knew her yet discribing her character. Wasn't moved at all.

Nikita Wannenburgh It was a decent movie, but not brilliant. Cons:It was rushed. Considering that the story actually needed quite a lot of time to make the romance realistic, timing was essential; and they didn't quite get it right. It was admittedly predictable and cheesy; with a few silly/unbelievable moments. This is Nicholas Sparks, however, and you're gonna get clichés, stereotypes, and cheese, although none pull it off so well as The Notebook; which brings me to suggesting you watch that if you want a truly beautiful, romantic film.The dialogue was bad. Nothing was profound, and nothing was incredibly heart-wrenching.Adrienne's daughter was terribly cast. Also missing was the strong mother-daughter connection that was so present in the book. In this film they lost that; making Amanda into some lame attempt at a Goth and giving her unoriginal teenage "attitude"/rebelling that was unnecessary, annoying, and emotionally bland. Pros: Having actors like Lane and Gere in the lead roles immediately raises the quality of the film. And they both shone, with good but not amazing chemistry, and solid acting. Not everyone is Ryan and Rachel with freakin' hot chemistry that burns even in the rain, but Gere and Lane are decent and experienced actors who delivered a touching love story for adults; however unrealistic some parts of the story might be. They were definitely well-matched, and, as a personal side comment, they've both aged very well. The secondary actors were very good. Scott Glenn was brilliant, and Viola Davis as delightful and vibrant as ever.

SnoopyStyle Adrienne Willis (Diane Lane) is a struggling mother of two. Her husband Jack (Christopher Meloni) wants to come home after 7 months separation with the wife's friend came to an end. Her daughter Amanda (Mae Whitman) is angry at her. She helps her friend Jean (Viola Davis) to watch her inn in Rodanthe on the outer banks of North Carolina. It is off season, and there is only one guest Dr. Paul Flanner (Richard Gere). He is deeply trouble and is there for a mysterious reason.This is a melodrama with two beautiful middle aged leads. There are no surprises. His problem is slowly revealed. Once it's all out, this runs like straight line. It's not a spoiler to say that they get together. There are no twists in the relationship.I like the marriage problem in Adrienne's life. I especially like the daughter's anger. It's enough for a good family drama. I would like to have a more simplified story. Dr. Flanner's problem is also compelling but that may be too much. There is too much melodrama going on.

Desertman84 Adapted from Nicholas Sparks' popular romance novel of the same title, director George C. Wolfe's Nights in Rodanthe tells the tale of a doctor en route to reconcile with his estranged son when his benevolent mission is sidelined upon checking into a North Carolina beach-town inn. When the doctor arrives at the inn, he enters into a passionate affair with an unhappily married woman who is currently considering divorce.It stars Richard Gere and Diane Lane.The movie is strongly mottled by contrivances that one may find implausible.Even the performance and the charisma of Diane Lane and Richard Gere can't save this film from disaster.At the same time,it also just managed to be a romantic tearjerker and melodramatic like many films of similar genre.This could probably be enjoyed by young adults.
