The Notebook

Saw The Notebook (Thanks, Kim Gero!) It was as pretty and gentle as a Thomas Kinkade painting. There was only one kind-of tough scene in the third act, but we are prepared for it well in advance. I wish there had been more ugly realism in the film, but this would be like adding sand to a sunday. As it stands, it is totally sweet and soothing. In this respect, it is the diametric opposite of Pink Flamingos.
