Directed by
Nick Cassavetes, this adaptation of author
Nicholas Sparks' bestselling novel revolves around
Noah Calhoun's (
James Garner) regular visits to a female patron (
Gena Rowlands) of an area nursing home. Rather than bore her with the inanities of everyday life,
Calhoun reads from an old, faded notebook containing the sweeping account of a young couple (
Ryan Gosling and
Rachel McAdams) whose love affair was tragically put to a halt after their separation in the midst of World War II. Seven years later, the couple was reunited, and, despite having taken radically different paths, they found themselves unable to resist the call of a second chance.
The Notebook also features
Joan Allen,
Sam Shepard, and
Kevin Connolly.
