Lovely submitted by LuckyDuck on July 12, 2011, 7:36pm Best love story made. So romantic.

Great movie submitted by xoxobrenda on June 20, 2012, 12:35pm A film that will make you laugh and cry! Loved it.

The Notebook submitted by SBNB on July 31, 2014, 12:42pm It's a great movie. It's romantic and a little sad, and it's maybe one that even the man/boyfriend/husband will enjoy.

The Notebook submitted by a2sue on August 24, 2015, 11:24pm The Notebook is such an extraordinary love story. It's based on a novel, but I can't imagine the book being any better than the film!!

Okay submitted by kelleyc on August 1, 2016, 6:32am Good, but way too different from the book. They didn't get Noah's character right.

Lovely Romantic Film submitted by Meginator on August 10, 2017, 10:02am The Notebook is, without a doubt, the saddest (fictional) film that I have ever seen, but that's not a knock against it. The twist at the end is devastating (in a good way), but the core of the film is a lovely romance that endures some serious challenges over the years. It's a classic for a reason, with an excellent plot, characters you want to root for, and a timeless theme.

One of the Best submitted by JarrettB005 on June 18, 2018, 2:05pm Incredible well told story that was intriguing for the entire movie. Pulls at the heart strings.

Incredible movie submitted by melissahimich on July 13, 2018, 5:29pm Beautiful story that made me cry! They did an excellent job with this movie

Unpopular Opinion submitted by dntanzer on August 31, 2018, 2:47pm But I found this movie so-so. I thought the relationships were okay, but nothing special. It's a good fit for those who are interested in long-lasting romance plots.
