Another Nicholas Sparks book makes it to the big screen. I decided to add this movie having seen 3 others movie adaption by this guy : 1. Message in a Bottle, 2. Notebook , and 3. A Walk to Remember. However, out of the four movies, I think this one was the lamest. This movie in many respects resembles "Message in a Bottle", but it came off a little more cheesy and formulaic. Basically the plot is Diane Lane's character is hosting a bed and breakfast in the Outer Banks, NC and Richard Gere's character comes to stay there to try to resolve some lawsuits he has with the family of someone he was a doctor for. During this time, he falls in love with Diane Lane's character and they have wonderful times at the beach, blah...blah...blah....BLAH. Ok, at this point (without giving away what happens) let me start to give my two cents - this movie is very formulaic and kind of boring. The character development just doesn't seem developed enough despite being well-acted and the plot is too simplistic. The movie is 1.5 hours, yet I think you can find better things to do with your time than to watch this movie. The overall messages conveyed from the movie are not very pro-marriage nor do they seem to accurately convey that love is committed in good times and bad, not just when you have butterflies in your stomach and are constantly day-dreaming about your lover. So my last words on this movie? Skip it.
