Movie! The Notebook

Did Nicholas Sparks get a script doctor? I mean, as you all know, I did enjoy the book, but many of the minor problems that I had, I felt that the movie solved brilliantly. In the book, the early stages of the romance were glossed over in a few sentences, whereas the movie used the first hour to show up the love story build up. The true heart of the story, which in the book is only revealed in the last third or so, is subtly given to us, allowing the full scope of the heartbreak to sink in while you're still in the middle of the tale.

Watch the movie. If you have a choice between the book or the movie, grab the movie. I won't say that often.
