Just saw a small trailer for this movie, which is opening June 25th. It looks quite promising...a love story and a tearjerker! ;) Here's the link:http://www.thenotebookmovie.com/

My youngest daughter went to see a sneak preview of this movie last night. She loved the book and has been waiting for this movie to come out for quite some time. She couldn't talk anyone into going with her so she went alone. Let me explain here that mother-in-law died of Alzheimer's, and she and my daughter were very close. Daughter sits down next to a woman who explains that daughter should be forewarned...the woman is probably going to cry a lot...daughter says that's okay...most likely she will too. The movie goes on and both women are crying profusely. At some point, Daughter cries so hard that a third woman reaches over and asks if she is okay. Daughter says that the casting was exceptionally good, but was done with "up & comers' instead of established stars. She said that the movie was very good...probably won't win any awards, but still very, very good. My guess is if you liked the book, you will like the movie...but she says it's definitely a "one whole Kleenex box" movie. She is threatening to take me...not so sure I want to go!

Mary, some people just don't understand that there's nothing quite as cleansing as a good cry. I think men in particular don't like movies that make them cry, but I feel that if a movie makes me cry, then it's touched me. I don't like movies that set out only to make you cry (feels manipulative), but if what you see on the screen feels true and evokes an emotional response, I feel it was worth the money. Does that make sense?

HmmmmI may go see this.... As I said in another thread....my favourite movie makes me cry every single time I watch it...and that's at least twelve times now.

I LOVED the book and am looking forward to the movie too! I cried and cried while reading the book, so I'm sure I'll cry through the movie. It was such a touching story. I just recently cleaned out some boxes of my paperbacks and found the book and was planning on reading it again.

I loved the book too and can't wait to see this movie. It is a lovely story and I know I will be bawling my eyes out. Look, I cry at cartoons and commercials so you know I will be red-eyed when I leave the theater. I saw a study once that said the makeup in tears that are cried when watching a movie is different from the makeup of tears cried when someone is sad. They also said that people that cry at movies are more likely to be healthier and live longer. So I am figuring if that is true I will be the first 200 year old woman!

Mamie... I'm right the with you. I cried so much during "The Color Purple" that my mother wanted to remove me from the theatre!!! I had a headache for 2 days due to my eyes being so sore. Same thing with "E.T." I saw the previews for this in the theatre a few weeks ago and DH and I will be there with bells on!!! Oh yeah... and with a box of Kleenex!

i am really interested in seeing this movie. i always love a good tearjerker. i didn't know this was also a book. can anyone tell me the author? i will probably read it first. i always find the book to be so much more intriguing than the movie.

I loved it. The theater I went to was also filled with women...maybe about five men there, and all accompanying women. And you know, I was surprised by how really *good* the movie was. It was kind of fun to watch since the audience was so into the story and the characters, and so audible about it (saying "Aww...", gasping, crying, etc). It is sad at points, but ultimately I think it's really sweet and lovely. At the end of the movie (when the credits were rolling, the lights came on, and everyone was getting up to leave), there was some laughter because people started realizing that they weren't the only ones who cried. I thought all four of the leads were wonderful. I'll keep my fingers crossed for Oscar nominations. I think the story was good, but their terrific acting also helped the movie seem genuine and moving, rather than contrived or sappy.

I really enjoyed this movie. I dont typically like movies like this and what some refer to as "chick flicks". But I must say that this movie was great. I generally dont cry at movies either. My eyes whelled up quite a few times but it wasn't till almost 3/4 of the way through that I lost it. Was completely balling like a fool. My head ended up hurting by the time it was over because I was holding back my sobs. It was good though. I didn't read the book prior to seeing the movie but got a hold of a copy of it the day after I saw it. The book was great too. I finished it in a little over a day.

I saw this movie this past Friday with my DD#2. DH, DD#1 & DS went to see Spiderman 2 at the same time. Thank God for DD#2 who loves these movies like I do! My DH will go to one if it's only the 2 of us going, but if he has a choice to go w/the other kids to something else, he does. He WILL watch it when it comes out on DVD, tho! OK, I hadn't read the book and didn't know it was supposed to be such a tear-jerker. It sounded like a sweet love story. Well, I couldn't get up until the credits were almost over because I was so wiped out from crying!! I had to wear my sunglasses out of there! LOL DD agreed it was one of the best movies we've seen in a long long time! We both want to read the book! Every copy in our library system is either checked out or on hold!

OK DH picked this movie for our anniversary... if that doesnt make you cry - I hadnt any forwarning, new it was a "chic flic" Luckily we were able to pull ourselves together... like what happened to the painting his father took? That should've shown up somewhere.... and I was appalled that someone brought a young child to this movie - the sex scenes were incredible - - without showing... but OMG!! *G
