Yes, it's mushy, but it's a heartfelt romantic drama. posted on 31 Aug 2009
I liked "Nights in Rodanthe", and thought it was a well-acted, poignant romantic drama that tells the story about two people who meet and find love under the weight of personal loss and despair. These days, it's so difficult to find 'true' romance dramas that have no constant profanity, explicit sex and that paint a caricature of what romance is.
"Nights in Rodanthe" stars Diane Lane as Adrienne, a married, mother of two who is separated from her husband due to his indiscretion [leaving her for another woman]. Just as the kids are preparing to spend some time with their dad, the cad returns and begs Adrienne to take him back. She tells him that she needs time to think, and its fortutious timing as she is going away to Rodanthe to help take care of her best friend's inn, a charming old building sitting on the beach on the Outer Banks in North Carolina. There is but one guest who shows up all ruffled and terse - Richard Gere who plays a doctor who has just sold off his practice and his home and is in Rodanthe on some unfinished business connected to a surgical procedure gone wrong. During the course of several days [and this reminded me so much of The Bridges of Madison County], this vulnerable and hurting pair discover they are soulmates and indulge in a passionate affair that leaves an indelible mark on both of them. All this and there's a hurricane coming too! The rest of the movie deals with the aftermath of their love affair.
The chemistry between Lane and Gere is as strong as ever [they were also good in 'Unfaithful'] and helps make the romance between them believable and credible. The scenic cinematography of the Outer Banks is absolutely breathtaking, as is the soundtrack [Dinah Washington, Brooke Benton etc]. I did feel the ending was a bit over the top, but on the whole, I did enjoy this romantic drama - it felt like a story from the heart. -
I really wasted my $2 renting this from my local library. You could watch the last 30 minutes and not miss much. The movie has a dissapointing ending. I can only assume that the book was good because of the writer and this is a case of too much editing.

Oh yes! Hollywood does remember how to use the good old formula, and when lightning hits, it's a rather wonderful feeling. Rarely Hollywood creates a masterpiece because lately, there seems to be more concern with hurrying up and getting the most rewards in a hurried manner, or there is the matter of too many cooks in the mix. Usually good screenplays are the result of a talented writer who is in full control of his/her property, understand his material and is a good writer. Then, there is a little important part, often neglected by the marketing geniuses that so often lack creativity and vision: a good actor.A good actor can make the difference between a mediocre, half-cooked try, and a fully realized film that might not be an important and relevant movie, but one that contributes to its genre and might eventually become a classic of its type. We get very few romantic comedies, and we are people who are starved for them. Buried in the sexy humor of "Sex in the City" is the romantic, yet stormy relationship of Big and Carrie, and people flocked to "Mamma Mia" because it had some romance, skillfully played by Streep and Brossnam. It could have a silly musical, but it did touch us because it was played with intensity and conviction. "Nights" offers us more of it, with the amazing talents of a woman who does magnificent work in romantic films, Ms. Diane Lane. Ever since her days as a child actor, we could appreciate how her talent, combined with her appreciative soul allowed us to see into the hearts of the story's protagonists. A few years back, she teamed up with Mr. Gere, giving us a tormented, romantic, and sexy performance as the wife who is not too sure of her actions' consequences in "Unfaithful", work that should have garnered her at least an Academy Award. She is back, doing more formidable work in this romantic gem as a woman who has given up on her romantic prospects, and suddenly she realizes there might be another chance around the corner.Ms. Lane makes this film pulsate with intelligence and passion. Her facial expressions communicate volumes about the different emotions her character undergoes. We can read frustrations, yearnings, desperation, anger, hope, loss, and a range that is way out reach for a lot of the marketable types that Hollywood constantly push down our throats. Here is a mature performer who has the gift to project real emotions and allows us to connect with the material in such a way that we are moved as we become part of the experience.Ms. Lane is such a triumphant joy to watch as she goes through transformations from the first scenes of the film until the very end. Her discoveries become ours as we celebrate with her the power of hope and love. She is able to bring back the unsurpassed joy of a person in love, much like a teenager does, and yet she never lets you think of her character as silly or irresponsible. Her eyes are expressive gems that can move even the cynical in the audience. She is one of the stars that can do wonders with just one look. In her the classic feel of those grand movies of yesterday are back. Her work recalls the passionate and intelligent work of Hepburn, Davis, Garson, women who played everyday types and made them memorable because they created complete characters.We admire those superb actresses who recreate real life legends and are rewarded for it. Half their work is done by the mystique of the figures they impersonate; however as much as anyone might make you think, it is the roles such as Lane's in this movie that are a more impressive achievement because they are created from scratch, given a personal imprint and are able achieve heights without any previous theatrical material support, such as plays, and the background of a famous legend whose life is paid tribute on the silver screen. Lane's character is one woman whose experiences could be any of us. She represents our dreams and emotions with much quality, class, and just the right amount of sentiment. It is quite a remarkable achievement, and we should be grateful that we are still able to find such a remarkable performance nowadays.There are a few adjectives I could use to pay tribute to her work, but I can only say that in my humble opinion every single frame of her work in this film is testament to one of the greatest performances ever put on celluloid by a living performer. Thank you, Ms. Lane.

I saw this in theatres with my husband and was so excited to see it because I love Nicholas Sparks books and loved A Walk to Remember and The Notebook. All I can say is that this was just downright boring-I liked the book though. And I know it really can't be the actor's faults because they had great ability to act together in Unfaithful. It just seemed long and never ending and just boring, as if the magic that makes a movie great wasn't there.

You can call me a sap, I don't care. I am that and a romantic and a sucker for a good ending. When it first came out and i saw the previews, i was like, I would like to see this. So I put in for it at the library. When I saw that I had the copy finally, I was a happy camper. When I got into the story, I couldn't help but feel for the people. Diane Lane is Adrienne; She lost her hubby to a friend, and now he wants to come back home to her. He springs his proposal just as he is about to take the kids for their weekend, and she goes to the Outer Banks to help her friend while she goes to Miami showing off her artwork. Richard Gere is a surgeon who comes to Rodanthe to meet with the man whose wife he operated on and she died during surgery. Through the years, he was more into work, and not into family and they suffered, yet his son followed in his footsteps. He meets Diane Lane, finds that he has more in common with her; he helps her see that in spite of the hubby thing, that she is beautiful and they fall in love and have their moments before he goes off to meet his son overseas. What I truly liked about the film is the fact that the widower of the woman he operated on wanted to meet the doctor, and you could feel the love he had for her come through. To him, what she had didn't matter to him not one bit, and I can see the love and conviction in his voice. then when Adrienne showed Gere what he lacked, it helped to make him a better person. Also Adrienne's daughter was terrible to her, but when Adrienne was going through her mourning, she was the one that took care of her and finally came through for her mother. Good movie for the saps in the world. If you want to get your mind off the recession for a bit or hard times, see this flick; if not, move on.

This film was one of the worst I've ever seen. To begin with, the "charming oceanside inn" must have been installed there for the filming of the movie and then torn down...the smallest storm would have blown it over for sure. I thought the first part of the movie was OK..besides the fake house...and hoped something would happen. There was absolutely no character development.. Richard Gere crying out "I wanted to be the best damned doctor I could be!!!" made my gag reflexes kick in. The soliloquy close to the end between mother and daughter was totally unrealistic and stupid..not to be outdone by the final scene which displays Diane Lane wailing on the beach watching the little ponies run around. Oh...my ...God...thank heavens that was the last scene If you don't find this film borderline offensively stupid...you are no longer welcome to hang out with me and my cool friends.

Here in Australia Nights in Rodanthe is being promoted in the same class as the Notebook. Quite frankly what a lot of rot.This film is a like a recipe. On paper we have all the right ingredients... Richard Gere normally perfect in this genre, Diane Lane an old favourite from "Under Tuscan Sun" and "Unfaithful", ocean side location, solitude and yet the movie sucks. At the session we went to yesterday afternoon a women next to my wife fell asleep and half way through the movie got up and left! The main problem is there is no build up or credibility to the relationship in the first place. And perhaps there are too many long faces and downbeat if you like histories that Gere and Lane's characters bring to the movie. There's hours of those balanced out with perhaps 5 minutes of what we can to see... romance! There's no warmth from Gere's character, Lane looks dreadful at the start of the movie and all washed out. So as the viewer we cannot really connect to the characters.Others here say the book is great. Well be it the screenplay, direction or production someone here has made a real mess of this movie. It's like the scenes and the buildup are a deck of cards except instead of being in the correct order they've just been thrown together all over the place.Very disappointing... save your money for when it hits the video shops and even then wait for a good deal when it goes to the weekly rate.

Every great romantic comedy needs conflict between the romantic leads to lend suspense, anticipation and allure to the plot. This story falls completely flat in this area. There is no conflict - at least none that would inhibit the eventual joining of the two lead characters, and so suspense is flat, there is no anticipation, and there really is no allure at all.The chemistry between Richard Gere and Diane Lane is representative of friendship at best, and with the talent of these two particular actors, I was quite surprised. During the movie, I expected them more to play a game of checkers and chat about the weather than see any moving passion.While I'm a fan of both actors, I do believe that the casting in this movie was off - or, perhaps the direction was off-base and it impacted their deliveries. The writing was very weak, which also might have impacted the performances; most certainly, the script could have used some help from some Harlequin writers who have real experience putting the heat in romance.This movie may be worth watching on a rainy Sunday afternoon, but only after it's on the cheap shelf.(Sorry Diane Ladd and Richard Gere).

I don't care what the critics from At The Movies said about it, I think this was a beautiful love story. Richard Gere and Diane Lane are perfectly well cast. They both seem to enjoy working together, after The Cotton Club(1984), and Unfaithful(2002). Not only the actors do well, but the scenery is also pretty, and at times it takes on a life of it's own.The story starts with two people Adrienne Willis(Diane Lane), who is a mother of two, and is separated from her husband(Christopher Meloni), and Dr. Paul Flanner(Richard Gere),who is a great doctor. but is emotionally wounded by his other failures in life. Adrienne and Paul meet at a INN on the beach of North Carolina. Has they find friendly comfort in each other, and has they find romance along the way. But will they find a good change in themselves?I loved this because the characters are very real, real people, real emotions. Richard Gere and Diane Lane play it very beautifully and very real. It was very moving and well done. To some that are quick to judge it. I say take a closer look, you might like what you see.

This movie is like a baseball player trying to hit a home run and gets really close to hitting one out of the park but never quite makes it. The producer of this movie is trying to convey some kind of important message to the audience and does a good job trying but succeeds only in sending bits and pieces. This movie also raises other questions: Is Hollywood still able to produce a love story that succeeds in keeping the audience's interest? Is Hollywood still able to produce a love story that is not corny? Is Hollywood still able to produce a love story that is well-acted and well-written? Amazingly, shockingly, unbelievably, after watching this movie, the answer to these questions is a qualified yes. Parts of this movie are tedious and can bring a viewer to the brink of slumber, but the movie sufficiently recovers to keep the audience at least awake if not thrilled. The story avoids corniness and the usual Hollywood contrivances that render such Hollywood movies unintentionally laughable and has an upbeat ending in what is, for Hollywood, an attempt to tell a dramatic story involving deeply emotional themes. Diane Lane's performance is outstanding. She is definitely the star of this movie. If you decide to take the time and spend the money to watch this movie, please remember that it's made in Hollywood, so don't expect profound philosophical insights, but do expect a movie that you may actually like.

I loved, loved, loved this movie. Richard Gere and Diane Lane are great together. I read this book and it was great, so I don't usually like the movie since it is never the same. But this was close, they did change some of the story line but it didn't hurt the movie. I thought the chemistry between the two stars was sensational. I would recommend this book to anyone and I have.

Two Tortured Souls Get Propelled by a Hurricane in a Predictable, Picturesque Sudser posted on 07 Aug 2009
Fifty-three minutes. That's how long it takes for the Richard Gere and Diane Lane characters to have their first Hollywood-style kiss in this plodding, teary-eyed 2008 soap opera based on Nicholas Sparks' successful 2002 novel...and only after a life-threatening hurricane throws them in each other's arms. Like the other adaptations of his work - Message in a Bottle, A Walk to Remember, The Notebook - it is tastefully produced with a swooning sense of romanticism and a fantasy-laden sense of character and situation. The themes are also familiar to anyone who has seen the other films since the focus is on two tortured souls who meet fortuitously, transform each other, and face some unexpected tragedy to reinforce the eternity of their love.
If it sounds formulaic, it is with every major scene turning into some life lesson for some character. There is a long line of these sudsy melodramas - The Prince of Tides, The Bridges of Madison County and The Lake House come to mind - but the difference is that first-time big-screen director George C. Wolfe does not do anything to enhance the formula despite the stellar work he has done on Broadway with "Angels in America". Adapted by TV-movie veterans Ann Peacock and John Romano, the story starts with recent divorcee Adrienne Willis agreeing to watch her best friend Jean's B&B, a precarious-looking oceanfront property in the picturesque hamlet of Rodanthe in North Carolina's Outer Banks. Not only is she doing a vacationing Jean a favor, but she can also avoid her unfaithful ex-husband, a weekend dad who is becoming increasingly persistent about coming back to the family.
It's late in the vacation season and a hurricane is brewing, but the inn still has one reservation, a guest willing to pay double the rate to keep it open. The guest is Dr. Paul Flanner, a moody plastic surgeon who has come to Rodanthe from Raleigh to face the widower of a patient who died on his operating table. While it appears he is trying to avoid a malpractice suit, he also has family issues with an estranged son who has followed his father into the medical profession but decided to help the poor in Ecuador instead. Adrienne and Paul naturally follow the pattern of their damaged souls, and the rest is inevitable. In their third onscreen coupling, Gere and Lane are on familiar territory here, and while they perform capably, neither brings anything terribly new to the story. In fact, Lane's performance feels very much a carbon copy of her work in Under the Tuscan Sun.
The surprise is the caliber of actors that the producers have been able to recruit to fill the minor parts. Currently wowing critics as Mrs. Miller in Doubt, an almost unrecognizable Viola Davis is relegated to sassy best friend as Jean, while a taciturn Scott Glenn and an uncredited James Franco show up as the emotionally wounded widower and Paul's son Mark, respectively. It's a shame none of them are given material worthy of their talent. Instead, we are given a big-budget Lifetime TV-movie that moves glacially until a hectic montage of letters leads to the unsurprising resolution. The bare-bones 2009 DVD offers no extras other than full-screen and wide-screen versions on opposite sides of the disc. -
To call this movie a 'chick flick' is simply insulting to women. We like far better stories to a movie than this. Watching Nights in Rhodante was like watching two flies on the wall. Actually, watching two flies on a wall may be more interesting.Nothing wrong with any of the acting in this film and they are convincing and real, but jeez... the story. Its basically going nowhere. The characters are boring and have boring lines, and therefore anything they do or want is also boring. The film has no substance at all. At times the music feels complete off to the situation being portrayed. The story feels dead already in the 1/4 of the film since Lane/Gere has already reached the most exciting part of a romance (the courtship). The rest is focused on her waiting for him. I'm a hopeless romantic. Except in anything resembling this. I was unable to connect even once to the characters in the film. The story is that thin and uninteresting. Basically the movie dwells over and over again on some infatuation Diane Lane is supposedly having for a sour and utterly boring, self centered, uninteresting plastic surgeon who stays at a B&B in Rhodante. I don't think I could muster any attraction at all in the same situation even if Gere was romping around in his birthday suit, age 25.Save your monies. Don't waste precious time in your life on this rubbish. And don't forget: this movie is directed by a man. Must be a man's lifeless view of what romance is.
