  CAST: Diane Lane, Ricard Gere, Christopher Meloni, Mae Whitman, Viola Davis, James Franco, Scott Glenn DIRECTED BY: George C. Wolfe SUMMARY: Adrienne Willis (Diane Lane), a woman with her life in chaos, retreats to the tiny coastal town of Rodanthe, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, to tend to a friend?s inn for the weekend. Here she hopes to find the tranquility she so desperately needs to rethink the conflicts surrounding her?a wayward husband who has asked to come home, and a teenaged daughter who resents her every decision. Almost as soon as Adrienne gets to Rodanthe, a major storm is forecast and Dr. Paul Flanner (Richard Gere) arrives. The only guest at the inn, Flanner is not on a weekend escape but rather is there to face his own crisis of conscience. Now, with the storm closing in, the two turn to each other for comfort and, in one magical weekend, set in motion a life-changing romance that will resonate throughout the rest of their lives. MY THOUGTHS: I really liked the story, but the ending I am still unsure about. I didn't even for a second see that happening. I thought it was just going to be one of those predictable love stories. How very wrong I was. I am all for the non typical endings. But I wanted it to be typical in this film. It was just so sad. I really felt for the characters. Diane and Richard were great together. All of the acting was good. Seemed a little forced with Mae at times. But for most, all did a great job.

  It reminded me of a Canadian B movie, but with an A list cast - including Richard Gere and Diane Lane. Sure It's a nice love story - complete with the baggage of past family and each other's shortcomings. In the end, I found it kind of mushy. I've seen a couple of… More
  It reminded me of a Canadian B movie, but with an A list cast - including Richard Gere and Diane Lane. Sure It's a nice love story - complete with the baggage of past family and each other's shortcomings. In the end, I found it kind of mushy. I've seen a couple of comparisons to The Notebook, but it is half the movie the Notebook is. Bring a box of tissues though.

• Lafe F

  
  Sad, sensual, sensational and well-acted. Diane Lane and Richard Gere give life to this powerful story of love, letting-go and forgiveness. The hurricane sequence is skillfully done. I liked the coastal scenery. The only thing: too many cans of good food were trashed.

  The stars are above such treacly material but they do the best they can with it and Viola Davis is fun in her all too brief role.

  The DVD copy I borrowed of this was faulty and pretty much wouldn't play from one hour into it till the end. It was watchable, but it didn't do a whole lot for me, and I don't think seeing the ...SPOILER......death would have changed my opinion too much. I actually… More
  The DVD copy I borrowed of this was faulty and pretty much wouldn't play from one hour into it till the end. It was watchable, but it didn't do a whole lot for me, and I don't think seeing the ...SPOILER......death would have changed my opinion too much. I actually think that with the cast this movie has and general tone, it is probably more aimed at middle aged women, who would probably enjoy this more than I did. Nothing too wrong with it, but just not that thrilling either. I don't feel moved to get hold of another copy and see the bits I missed.

  Wonderfully, teary romantic and love story about hope, the rediscovery of happiness and, ultimately, scarifice. In this film, Richard Gere and Diane Lane have more chemistry than a science lab - and so they should, it's their third film together! First teaming for the ambitious 80's musical <i>The Cotton Club</i>, and later the sexy, but disquieting, thriller <I>Unfaithful</i>, Gere and Lane are paired again to headline this beautiful and stirring film adaptation of the best-selling novel by Nicholas Sparks - and it just may be the duo's finest hout.

  Nights in Rodanthe is a motion picture from the famed author Nicholas Sparks. Richard Gere and Diane Lane team up again in this dramatic love story. They both meet on a desolate coastal town in North Carolina on the off season. They both fall in love though both are going through a lot of turmoil. A good movie to see.

• Nani V

  
  There were times in this movie where I felt it lost me. The chemistry wasn't that great for me. Sweet story, but putting it into a movie didnt turn out that well. I'm pretty sure the book is better, although I've never read it.

• Rachel F

  
  It's a bit of a tear-jerker. Be sure to have tissues handy. It's a beautiful story, though. The place where it was filmed is beautiful too and just as much a part of the story as the characters and plotline.

  my internet girlfriend warned me warned us all a voice in the wilderness... but i wouldn't listen. i'm not scarred for life but it might take some intensive primal scream therapy to recover. i apologise to my neighbors beforehand. think "love story, part 2, 30 years later" and then stop thinking.

  Very beautiful and sad. Funny too...

  The movie was good, certainly made the girls cry but I think the most important things in the movie happen too fast and so out of detail, The Notebook will be still my favorite tragic romantic movie of all time. Not meant to be seeing in the movies but a very good DVD movie on a sunday night with your better half. Adrienne Willis (Diane Lane), a woman with her life in chaos, retreats to the tiny coastal town of Rodanthe, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, to tend to a friend?s inn for the weekend. Here she hopes to find the tranquility she so desperately needs to rethink the conflicts surrounding her?a wayward husband who has asked to come home, and a teenaged daughter who resents her every decision. Almost as soon as Adrienne gets to Rodanthe, a major storm is forecast and Dr. Paul Flanner (Richard Gere) arrives. The only guest at the inn, Flanner is not on a weekend escape but rather is there to face his own crisis of conscience. Now, with the storm closing in, the two turn to each other for comfort and, in one magical weekend, set in motion a life-changing romance that will resonate throughout the rest of their lives.

  Richard and Diane make a great on screen couple. Based on a novel, two people with their own problems, meet one night and it changes their lives forever. You really feel for Diane's character.

  I saw this film in a theater with three couples and a whole row full of women. You could just tell by the mens faces that they were scared, so i assured them that it was going to be OK and we're going to get through this. I told them my horror story of having to sit through Made… More
  I saw this film in a theater with three couples and a whole row full of women. You could just tell by the mens faces that they were scared, so i assured them that it was going to be OK and we're going to get through this. I told them my horror story of having to sit through Made of Honor and they felt better. Nights in Rodanthe is your typical Nicholas Sparks drivel. I can see this guy as the kid in the schoolyard making girls cry by telling them that Barbie was a communist or something to the effect. Diane Lane is a seperated mom who takes care of a seaside inn for a friend. Richard Gere is the doctor who arrives and acts weird. They fall in love and the end. But Nicholas Sparks is trying to be the next Apollo Creed. No, he's not retirning more men than social security. he's killing more men than cancer. Yes, it's time to weep. But you can't because the film is so damn predictable. But ladies love to cry over stars whose hair still looks good even in a hurricane. The acting sucks. The direction sucks. The premise sucks. But Scott Glen is in it so I'll throw it half a star.

  A haunting and forever memorable & romantic chic flick. Richard Gere definitely has one for the ages and beyond as Diane Lane's love interest. Both are facing major life crises...and eventually lean on each other for a remedy or two for comfort. A wonderful and endearing love story that will stay with you long after it is over. See this! It is undeniably recommended.

  [color=blue][b][size=5]NIGHTS IN RODANTHE (2008)[/size] [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/custom/60/1191360.jpg[/img] Èim sam èuo da u ovom filmu igraju Diane Lane i Richard Gere (treæi put zajedno posle filmova COTTON CLUB i UNFAITHFUL) odmah sam rešio da film pogledam još prvog dana prikazivanja. Ovo je trebala biti veoma romantièna prièa koja je bazirna na noveli Nicholas Sparksa. Adrienne Willis (Lane) se oseæa užasno psle rastave, a posebno kada joj muž priðe i kaže da je još uvek voli i da želi da se vrati... sa dvoje dece, od kojih je æerka veoma problematièna tinejdžerka, to izgleda kao sasvim logièno rešenje... [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/gallery/1191360/photo_30_hires.jpg[/img] Njen muž (Christopher Meloni, LAW & ORDER: SVU) ima æerkinu podršku (Mae Whitman, HOPE FLOATS) pa kada je prijateljica Viola Davis ( ANTWONE FISHER) zamoli da bude domaæica gostu koji dolazi van sezone u vili kraj mora, ona prihvata da joj pomogne. [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/gallery/1191360/photo_25_hires.jpg[/img] Gledajuæi ovaj film nisam se mogao oteti utisku da je i pravljen da bi se nakupio para od žena koje u bioskop idu sa tri maramice... ali na mene nije imao nikakav efekt. U stvari jeste: bilo mi je veoma dosadno! Romantika sa mužom gledalaca nema nikakve veze... i to se dalo primetiti u ovom filmu od kojeg sam toliko mnogo oèekivao , a nisam dobio ništa zauzvrat... Šteta... [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/gallery/1191360/photo_27_hires.jpg[/img] Ocena 3/10.[/b][/color]

  Lane and Gere never ever share a connection, and may never will. Why do they keep starring together I will never know. Incredibly Boring.
