The Notebook

The designer dresses, the handsome guy, the convertibles, the rain, the love ... Classic chick flick. I watched the Notebook for the first time tonight. Rachel McAdams is beautiful as always. She also does a good job acting. The cinematography was pretty good. The warm colors were nice, and the whole movie created a very 'warm fuzzy' feeling.

The plot was decent, but I'm not sure the flashbacks worked. The old Ali wasn't up to par, though admittedly, her part was the hardest. how do you act like someone who can't remember? And why does memory come into so many films? I think that four out of the last twenty films I watched were about memory and memory problems. weird.

The highlight of the movie was the scene on the boat. Not only was it well filmed, but the dialogue was a step above the rest of the movie. The birds bit was just great enough to not be cheezy.

pretty good


6/10
