So. My girlfriend recently watched The Notebook and absolutely loved it. She told me to watch it. I watched it and thought it was disgusting. We had a pretty huge fight over it, but that's not the point.

Has anyone here seen the film and what is your opinion on how it portrays romance and "true love"?
I personally hate it because it paints a completely unrealistic and unfair picture of men. If women believe that real love should be like this all men are screwed. The film basically teaches women that it is okay to cheat on your fiancée (who isn't even a wifebeater or anything but a really great guy) and bone your ex-summer love boyfriend who you only dated for a couple of weeks and has somehow become "the one".

EDIT: this guy pretty much says it all IMO:

If I recall she was pretty hot.

But yes, the notebook only serves to make women more deranged than normal.

worst movie ever.  I actually had to write an english final for this movie.  I happened to get stuck in an english class that was part of a nursing program but it still counted towards my humanities credit.

it was either that or the film "m.a.s.h." and it was put to vote.  and it was a junior college.  Hows that drug addiction going for you?

What a stupid thing to get into a fight over.

When your girlfriend recommends you watch a romcom, you shut up and watch it. Then lie through your teeth about how great it was and how it really moved you.

Instead you said it sucks and got put in the dog house. GG

it's funny, in my public speaking class I "interviewed" this girl and she said her favorite movie was the notebook...

when I got up to "introduce her to the class", i said "megan's favorite movie is the notebook. she joins 99% of the female population."

a truly good movie is the green mile... just because a movie gets you sad doesn't make it amazing
