The Notebook (2 Stars)

A love story. It starts with an old couple in a hospital, the man reading the woman a story from a notebook. The story is about a poor boy who falls in love with a rich girl in the American south in 1940. There are problems with the girl's parents and the rich fiance.

The film was recommended strongly, "one of the best love stories ever made". That isn't how I see it. The film was so predictable that I knew what would happen and kept thinking "Get on with it!" For me "The Notebook" is just "Titanic" on dry land. And "Titanic" is better.
