Review of Nights in Rodanthe (2008) by Ian G — 12 Jun 2016
Another one of those Nicholas Sparks weapie that hit the screens riding the success of the Notebook, but rather than focusing on a very young couple, they bring in Richard Gere and Dianne Lane as middle aged wrecks coming off a crucial life event (a divorce and lawsuit for malpractice) looking for an escape and a change of pace to put things in perspective at a inn in North Carolina, and realizing they have a great chemistry together to help heal some old wounds before another tragedy intervenes.
Some alright, gorgeous travelog porn for escaping to some riddiculous cottage country for the rich, and the actors do ok with what they are given, but unfortunately the proceedings just come across as very predictable and you can call the proceedings from far away and for whatever reason you are never really cheering for the couple or at least involved in a deep way.
Pretty meh for what it is and destined to be playing on W on Sundays indefinitely.
