Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/21 Full Review kitti T. i just think this is cutesy Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/25 Full Review lucia v One of the best romance movies out there. The story is very cute and the actors are excellent. You're definitely going to cry, but the ending is very deserving of the great movie behind it. It's not a full 5 stars due to the fact that, although I could connect with the story and the characters, the whole first part of Noah and Allie's romance felt a bit rushed, everything happened too fast, that's the only negative point I find about this movie, but still the story of the two of them could be told well. Anyway, it's definitely worth a watch. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/25/25 Full Review Mitchell S After two hours with these characters, I didn't feel a thing for them. All they ever do is have sex, and die as old people at the end. This was a waste of time. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review Laura L Finally watched The Notebook! After one more person told me it was their favorite movie of all time! I'm a hopeless romantic at heart mixed in with a healthy dose of skepticism after years of experience in life but I digress... So, I really don't understand why people love this movie so much! I guess for the idea of it...but the actual movie lost me at hello. The way it starts out feels forced, not romantic. Like he barely met her and he is jumping inbetween her and another guy on the ferris wheel and then hanging off the ferris wheel to force her to say yes to going out with him...um no, that was not it at all. Then, laying on the street... I understand that the idea was to do something spontaneous and crazy,...even dangerous ..just that, what they did was not interesting at all...and I didn't feel any exciement or relate to it at all. Phew, it continues to be unrelatable to me even to first making love scene. I really did not like how they are standing there, each one taking their own clothes off. To me, that is cold, not intimate, not romantic at all. Especially for the first time for a girl. Usually experienced people might do that for efficiency's sake, (think a couple who just have 10 min for a quickie while kids are napping) but to me personally, that feels too mechanical. Overall, I didn't feel there was a real build up of love in the movie when they were young. I didn't feel it, didn't buy it. Too much fighting, not enough happy moments. It was actually downright toxic really and yet without substance. I mean I was a kid in love at 16 and it was also a complicated thing...so I should totally root for them...but I didn't root for them. Just didn't believe there was real love connection portrayed in the film. Wasn't developed enough... Her other fiance was a better guy and I preferred she end up with him in this movie from the way their interaction was portrayed as well as his character. The only time I finaly felt something in this movie and even cried, was the older people. I felt that love, and pain of her alzheimer etc. But watching it, it was like I was watching 2 diff movies. I did not connect the young ones with the old ones...like they were two different stories. I'm no film critic but these are my two cents... Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review seth r The Notebook is one of the most beautiful romance movies to have ever been made, in my opinion. To start, I think Noah is a well-likeable character; he's sweet, caring, and knows what he wants. Now, in the movie, they both have their faults, but I think it's done in a good way that really brings them together and really makes you hope and pray that they end up together by the end. I do really like this end, but it's also my only gripe with the movie. I like how he stops reading for a moment when she ends up at the hotel, and it really just keeps you wanting more, wanting to stay, and wanting to find out. And by the end of it, it reminds me of how beautiful love can be, but I do feel as if the ending was rushed a little. It feels like certain parts happen too fast, but I think by the very, very end, they kind of fix that. 10 out of 10, a must-watch.
