Grade: B-
Touted to be one of the greatest chick flicks of all time, “The Notebook” does not disappoint and is a solid date movie for Valentine’s Day. With its easy-to-follow storyline and identifiable characters, “Notebook” aims to please and does just that. The chemistry between protagonists Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling keep audiences on their toes with their tumultuous relationship. Though the romance is extraordinary, the scenes with the elderly couple pack the most emotion, through confirming everyone’s biggest fear — whether their loved one will indeed recognize them forever.
