A good movie

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back and since I had it on DVD, I was quite eager to check it out again. Since this movie has been released, it has become a classic in the romantic genre and I think it definitely deserves its reputation. What I loved the most about this movie was the fact that Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams were actually quite pitch-perfect  and they had such a great chemistry. Eventually, it is hardly surprising that Golsing would turn out to be one of the best actors of his generation. Concerning the other part  involving some older version of the characters played by James Garner and Gena Rowlands, I’m still not sure if it was really necessary but it still worked thanks to some really solid performances delivered by  Garner and Rowlands.  Eventually, the only thing preventing this movie from becoming really amazing was the fact that the story was in fact terribly generic and, without the cast involved, I don’t think I would have cared much about the damned thing. Another issue was that, following the success of this movie, they would give us no less than 8 other adaptations of Nicholas Sparks's books but, unfortunately, none of them turned out to be really worth a look. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of a terribly unoriginal and predictable story, I still have a weak spot for the damned thing and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
