Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams star in this sweeping romantic drama based on Nicholas Sparks' novel. In the present day, an elderly man named Duke (James Garner) reads from a faded notebook to a woman (Gena Rowlands) whom he regularly visits at her nursing home. He reads a passionate love story about a young couple - Noah Calhoun and Allie Hamilton (Gosling and McAdams) - who fall in love in a small coastal town in South Carolina in the 1940s. However, their fledgling love affair is abruptly ended by the intervention of Allie's parents and the sudden outbreak of war.

About this product

Product Information

Based on the celebrated novel by Nicholas Sparks, THE NOTEBOOK tells the story of a young couple who overcome insurmountable odds to experience the true power of love. In a modern-day nursing home, a kindhearted man (James Garner) reads a tender story to another patient (Gena Rowlands). The story begins during one glorious summer in small-town South Carolina in the early 1940s. Noah Calhoun (Ryan Gosling) is a blue-collar log mill worker who courts the wealthy and sheltered Allie Nelson (Rachel McAdams). Before long, sparks are flying and the pair is in love. But eventually Allie's snobby parents force their separation, and when World War II arrives, Noah heads overseas to serve his country. In the meantime, Allie becomes a nurse and falls for another man (James Marsden), to Noah's dismay. Nonetheless, he buys and fixes up the mansion he promised Allie he would one day restore, and when he and Allie reunite just before her wedding, their love blossoms once again. Decades later, in the nursing home, the story reaches its heartfelt conclusion. Directed with extreme sensitivity by Nick Cassavetes (son of co-star Gena Rowlands), THE NOTEBOOK is aided immensely by the naturalistic performances of Gosling and McAdams, whose chemistry is palpable.
