Started watching this last night on my computer while I was doing some work - within a few minutes I had moved down to watch it on the bigscreen. This is one of the few Nicholas Sparks books that I hadn't read - so I didn't know the storyline for the movie (although evidently they did change the movie a bit; especially the ending.)
What a sweet love story - and excellent performances by everyone - James Garner, Gena Rowlands - and especially Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. The onscreen chemistry between Gosling and McAdams was amazing. I was watching one of the DVD extras after finishing the movie -- and even in their screentest it was like wow - great chemistry.
The setting of this movie is absolutely gorgeous as well. The scene in the river - with all the geese - simply beautiful. Every shot seemed to be so well-thought-out. Gorgeous.
I love a good romance and storyline - and don't mind having a little cry at the end; this movie delivered.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE. The love story between the two characters is amazing. The onscreen chemistry between Ryan and Rachel is what makes the movie so great. The movie is fun, romantic, and shows us what true love can aspire to. I HIGHLY reccommend reading the book first, but if you don't, the movie is really quite similar. As the original review says, the end is different, but I think that both are beautiful. GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!
p.s. The special features are good too, particularly some of the deleted/alternate scenes. :heartbeat::heartbeat::heartbeat::heartbeat::heartbeat::heartbeat::whoa:
