#27: The Notebook (2004)

I'll admit it. I'm a sucker for these kinds of films. I watched this one the morning after Valentine's Day while on vacation. Yes, it's sappy and sentimental as all get out. Yes, there are a lot of cliches and the ending is a little too convenient. It's still a beautiful love story. The film effectively recreates the world of 1940s America. Rachel McAdams, James Garner, and Gena Rowlands totally own their roles. Ryan Gosling is hot as ever. This is definitely one of the most romantic films I've ever seen. Cheesy? Maybe, but I loved it.
