OK, Nights in Rodanthe (2008) is a total chick flick. I don't mind chick flicks if they are good, but this one, despite Diane Lane and Richard Gere, was a mess. I mean really, Diane Lane can fix almost any movie, but not this one.
I will just use some words to describe it: trite, unbelievable, manipulative, cold, shallow and unoriginal.
There were two things good about it: Diane Lane (yu-MMY much?) and that they portrayed a love affair between two people in the same age range, instead of having Gere get it on with someone who is 24 or so, that was nice.
A romance that did not sizzle, everything about the movie was just so flatline. The setup with how the two meet-- she watching a B&B for a friend and he being the only guest-- to the tragedy that keeps them apart---it is just so boring and unromantic it kills with boredom.
Miss this movie---not only the guys, but the girls too. It is a bad chick flick. find something that has a spark of romantic fire in it...this film is not it.
BTW-we got this film because Time Warner was selling it on pay-per-view for 1 cent. They may have overcharged.
