My Response: I was a big fan of the last Nicolas Sparks romance-turned-movie The Notebook, so I'm optimistic about this one. Nights in Rodanthe seems more gered (pun, haha!) for an older crowd when compared with The Notebook, but there's nothing wrong with that. And while The Notebook was about finding what you've lost, this seems more in line with finding something you've never had. Intereseting parallels. But with this being director Wolfe's first big screen movie, I'd wait to rent it though.
