The Notebook (20-May-2004)
Director: Nick Cassavetes Writers: Jeremy Leven; Jan Sardi From novel: The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks Music Composed by: Aaron Zigman Producers: Mark Johnson; Lynn Harris Keywords: Romantic Drama Film adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel of the same name follows a romance between a man and a woman from different backgrounds.
ABSTRACT
Told within the frame of an elderly man relating a story from his notebook to a fellow nursing-home patient in the present day, The Notebook traces the tale of an unlikely romance between hillbilly Noah Calhoun and socialite Allie Hamilton in early-1940s South Carolina. Differences in socioeconomic standing rule the day for the once-happy couple in this formulaic love story, as Noah's intention to serve in World War II and Allie's parents' intense distaste for his "country boy" upbringing present tough-to-conquer obstacles as time wears on.

REVIEWS Review by someone (posted on 17-Apr-2009) This movie is absolutely amazing. I just found out that Ryan Gosling, who plays Noah, is Rachel McAdams' real life boyfriend. I'm so thrilled for them as on-screen they were absolutely brilliant partners. They had such a connection on The Notebook so it's no surprise that they are actually a couple. I hope and pray that they will star in another movie together, because The Notebook would never have been the hit it was without them playing the parts of Noah and Allie. I'm sure everyone who has watched this film noticed the amazing bond between Allie and Noah and for some reason it just makes me so glad to know that they are partners off-screen. I love that popular scene from The Notebook where Allie and Noah kiss in the rain. It deserved to win the MTV best kiss award in 2004, without a doubt, and I'm very happy that it did so. The Notebook is my favorite love film of all time. You would be mad not to love it. I wish all the best to Rachael McAdams and Ryan Gosling and hope that they remain a couple. It is just such a happy ending.
Review by Trace B. (posted on 12-Feb-2005) AWESOME MOVIE! Finally something decent. Original yet timeless. I came upon this site after wondering why I hadn't seen these talented actors in anything else. I look forward to seeing more of Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. Great casting, I don't think anybody could have told this story better than those two. I bought the movie as soon as it hit the shelf. My grandfather died of Alzheimer's in 1982 and my grandmother made herself see this film and she loved it as well. AWESOME!
