Well ladies, if you ever wanted a movie just for you, you now have it. I let fan excitement here at RopeofSilicon.com get me all hyped up for this film and there is no lying here as I love a good chick flick, but The Notebook has got to be one of the sappiest movies I have ever had the pleasure of viewing.

Now I am not saying it is bad, I am just saying that this is the ultimate chick flick about the ultimate love. There is nothing in this world that could destroy this love or even put a dent in it. The movie comes to a rather dramatic conclusion that is literally trying so hard to just reach into your head and pull the tears out.

If you don't know already The Notebook is based on the novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks and follows a story told by an old man (Garner) to a woman he regularly visits at a nursing home (Rowlands). As he reads from his old notebook the story he describes tells the lives of young Noah Calhoun (Gosling) and Allie Hamilton (McAdams) who fall in love but are soon separated due to social status and Noah's stint in World War II. Through a little bit of effort and a lot of chance the two are reunited 14 years and several decisions later.

The Notebook is just as much an actor's movie as it is a location movie, with brilliant landscapes and awesome scenery, which you can check out a couple of pictures in our Photo Book above. As for the actors everyone plays their parts very well, and it was nice to see Gosling finally get out of playing the quiet tormented kid we have come to know him for from movies like Murder by Numbers and The United States of Leland.

Rachel McAdams on the other hand is a relative newcomer who experienced success in this year's Lindsay Lohan hit Mean Girls. McAdams plays her part well and there is no reason to expect we will not be seeing a lot more of her in the near future.

I was drawn in to this film by its brilliant settings and amazing landscapes, but sooner rather than later it just became too much for me to take. You can give me Shakespeare in Love and even You've Got Mail any day, but this love story is far too over the top for me.
