Well, I was fourteen when I saw The Notebook and absolutely fell in love with it. But I was young. I haven't watched it in a while, but the costumes, the core, and the cinematography were flawless. Nick Sparks is a hack, no denying that, but this is hands down the best adaptation of one of his novels. Not t hat there's much competition, but still. As for Noah's costumes, he was poor. We can't really expect him to be wearing anything breathtaking.
