1) Worst sence ~ Would have to be all the sences with Allie's dad, he just didn't have it.. and the part w/ Martha and Noah..eek: 2) Best Sence ~ Well I got two..All the younger Allie & Noah sences and when older Noah & Allie die together. 3) Best/Worst Actor ~ James Garner is the best actor in this movie (don't get me wrong I love Ryan & Rachel) but when older Noah started crying when Allie didn't remember, he just did it for me, and I cried like a baby..Allie's father was the worst actor in this movie because he had nothing interesting about him 4) Cheesy Lines ~ I liked them all so I don't have of to put.. 5) Comparison to the Book ~ I read the book after I saw the movie and I thought it filled in all the missing pieces that we didn't get to see with Allie & Noah after 7 years.. 6) Performance/Acting ~ Was the best I've seen in a long time, it was very powerful and moving and that's rare in movie's nowadays, it just blew me away... 7) My Emotions ~ They were all over the place.. I was happy when Noah and Allie got together and was mad and upset when they broke up and happy when they got back together and sad when they both died 8) Final Thoughts ~ They movie had it all and I loved every second of it...It's my favorite movie by far and it was just perfect, very well written and acted and...it was just wonderful ;D

My review: Best/Worst Scenes: I have to favorite scenes. The one where Allie and Noah dance in the street and the one where they just got off the boat and it was raining and Noah said, "It wasn't over, it still isn't over". I think the worst scene was, well, I can't really think of anything but the "I'm a Bird" scene - it was cute but a little wierd for me. Best/Worst Actors: I have to say Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams had great chemistry and totally made the movie really stand out for me (not to mention the shirtless Noah scenes were HOT ;D). I thought the guy who played Allie's dad was the worst just because he always had the same emotion on his face...I got nothing from him. Book/Movie Comparison: I read the book after I saw the movie and thought it was cool that I could put a face to a character. Both were really good and both made me cry (a lot ) but I have to say I like the movie better. Mainly because of the endings (I didn't really like how they "got it on" in the book and the ending in the movie was just more sentimental) and how the movie focused more on their summer love then the book did. Final Thoughts: I overall thought this is an awesome movie. Best love story I've seen on the big screen yet (I think the fact that I've seen it 3 times so far means I think it's a GREAT movie). Also, buy the soundtrack! It takes me back to the movie every time I listen to it. There are instrumental peices and also jazz songs from the 1940's that are really cool too!

since i just saw the movie for the 3rd and probably last time until the DVD comes out...I feel compelled to share my thoughts...
best scene - for me, i have three scenes that are my faves...two of them are just lines and the emotion behind them...the first one being during during their shared night at the Windsor Plantation, after Allie talks her way through their first "attempt"...When Noah says, "I love you, did you know that?" it's the first time they say it to each other.... the second is during the breakup scene: noah-what am i gonna do in new york? allie- "be with me..." and the third is the whole final "breakup scene", starting from when Allie gets back from the drive with her mother....all the way until Allie reads the final letter Noah wrote her....
worst scene- the martha shaw bit just seemed....awkward to me....
emotions- i'm a hopeless romantic anyway, so i was tearing up pretty good during this movie, especially the first time i saw it....the first breakup scene, when fin died, when old allie pushes noah away and they just show him torn up and crying...so sad...and for the last break up scene, it just held me all the way through until she was back in his arms after talking to Lon...also teared up at the very end... Like i said, i'm a sap...LOL
fave kissing scene- this is a tough one...actually, i dont think i prefer any of the kissing scenes, but the very last shot of the young noah and allie when she comes back to him and he wraps her into the blanket....so sweet...maybe also the kiss in the "I'm a bird" scene....

Hey I thought the movie was amazing! ;D
1. I thought the worst seen was when Allie fainted after she saw noah in the paper.i think it showed how much of a shock it was to see him after all those years and how much she felt for him and it gave it a comic relief. but to me it just didnt seem realistic i think she should have ran out of the store or something lighter like that instead.
I think the I'm a bird scene was kind of weird but kind of cute too. i mean i think it was cute how they could have fun and be silly but still be in love. I think it was cute how noah said If your a bird im a bird. it was some good acting from rachel. i dont think i could have made that scene any better if i was her.
2.I think the best scene was when Noah says I coud be.. i could be.. I can be any thing you want me to be. i thought that was so cute. i just wish allie would have agreed to go on a date with him that time.
I think wen they layed and danced in the street was so adorable.
I think wen noah says Sum pancakes and sum bagels was so cute. I love it! So many more. those were only a few.
3. I think Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams were amazsing.They have a chemistry and together they are perfect. they are very cute together. I cant see any one else being able to play that role. I dont believe brittany spears tried out for this role she cant even compare to rachel mcadams The worst actor i would say is James Garner. I didnt feel he fit his charactor i dont think he matched with the young charming noah at all.
4. I think the cheesiest lines were wen Lon was tellin Allie to marry him. i didnt like wut he said about why he shud marry him.
5. sry i never read the book. so i cant help ya there but if its ne thing like the notebook it must be good
6.I think the performance and the acting was amazing. Ryan and Rachel were amzsing. i couldnt see any one else playin there roles. to me james garner was not a good pick for his role. but other than that i think the cast was amazsing.
7. My emotions through the movie- I cried the whole time. i started crying as soon as allies parent told her noah was trash and i dont think i stopped. I dont think ive ever cried that much in a movie before. but i liked that you could easily get yourself involved in the movie. I fell in love with noah! I want a noah!
8. I thought it was amazing. i dont kno how it could have been any better. i kno alot of ppl didnt like the old people part but i think it showed how big of a love it was a man would read to sum1 like that and stick by his love no matter wut. It a 10/10 4stars! best movie yet!

Heyyy I'm new and I just read through a couple of pages of reviews and found them really interesting. I guess I will give my take on things, just to get it out.. The first time I saw the movie I was kinda going through something like Allie was...and in the middle of it my lover boy called. It's kind of funny, though really sad at the time. Anyways, enough about that. I really liked the movie because it really hits home with human emotions. It's easy to relate to/feel for all the characters because a) it's a great story and b) they hired some great actors. It's the kind of movie that you wish you could watch for the first time everytime, and because that's not possible you settle for watching it over and over again. It's addicting. (People do say love has many of the same effects on the brain as addiction does.) My favorite scenes are mostly the really dramatic ones, but one of the lighter ones I love is when they are dancing in this street. They way they move so slowy and she rests her head on him, it's just fun to think about what's going on in their heads. She just looks really comfortable in his arms and I've always viewed it as the moment they first started to fall in love. I also enjoyed the scene where they fight after Allie's parents are b*tching and moaning about Noah. When he is wiping the tears from her eyes, and he hits himself..that really gets to me. I guess it's because I feel it's so clear that they should just BE TOGETHER and for whatever reason, they just can't. Another time where I feel this way and another favorite scene is when Noah thinks she is going to leave him for Lon and he tells her that fighting is what they do but he's willing to work at it and all that. It's just very real. Even though they were perfectly in love, love is not perfect...there are always going to obstacles. They both know that and I just adore his devotion to her despite it. The only scene that I ever really had a "problem" with...I didn't really have a problem with at all. It just made me laugh because it was overly cheesy. When Noah and Allie are on the boat in the rain and he starts to laugh, it's sweet...but then she throws her head back and joins him in his laugher, and the music gets loud and gah! It's just way too much...it takes me out of the moment everytime. I just read the book last night, and in contrast to the movie, I enjoyed the scenes of older Noah and Allie better than younger scenes. I guess in the book, I kind of found some of the "falling back in love" scenes kind of cheesy, but I'm glad that in the movie they were just right. When I watched the movie, I cried when Noah first leaves Allie and when Allie leaves Noah and then when she comes back. I never really connected with the older couple. For the most part, I felt that James Garner did not do a good job of portraying Noah. I felt like they were two different people except for at certain moments. He just wasn't believeable. (Older Allie was great though.) Anyways, when I read the book...I only cried when they were older. Just the whole idea of Noah being so old and so alone, and the fact that he didn't expect to go down like this. I mean, of course him and Allie are going to get older but he would have never expected her to go away from him like that. It was like she was already dead. In the movie, I did see him as being so lonely except when Allie freaks out at him and he starts crying. I think that if his complete loneliness had been potrayed more, the film's old Noah and Allie would have been more thoroughly enjoyed....by me at least. The acting was of course supurb and as I said before, it's half the reason why the movie's so great. I agree that Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling have amazing chemistry...and I'm sure that there are a lot of people who could have acted their parts seperately very well...but I highly doubt anyone could work together so well the way they did. You just really believed in them...perfect love is what everybody in the world wants. Not many people can actually achieve it...but I really feel that a Noah and Allie existed somewhere in their perfect harmony. They are the reason why I would have loved to watch the entire life story of the two lovers...they just make it so interesting and real. Did anyone watch Rachel McAdam's screen test? Man that girl can act! Even without completely understanding her character (I'd imagine) or the hair and makeup and the set, she still did a fantastic job with the lines. It was amazing. I mean I guess that's what actors get paid for but she was so into it. I also liked the actor who played Noah's dad, he made me laugh. Well anyways...the movie's great. It's happy and sad and it makes you love it and love love and hope with all of your being for something like Noah and Allie had.
