Widescreen - Nights in Rodanthe'
A hurricane of emotions: Dr. Paul Flanner (Richard Gere) is struggling with his life in "Nights in Rodanthe." He doesn't really know where he is going, but he knows things must change. Adrienne (Diane Lane) is having trouble in her relationship. Her husband has cheated on her but now wants to come back into her family's life.
Now, two adults, both searching for the answers in their lives, will spend a memorable storm together. They'll look for the good in each other that they can't seem to see within themselves, and will work together to regain the happiness that all men and women should feel.
This story comes from a Nicholas Sparks novel ("The Notebook.") That fact alone would lead you to expect this is a romantic tale with beautiful language and dialog to melt your heart. On that level, "Nights in Rodanthe" delivers.
But where this film goes wrong is with extremely clunky transitions from one set of dialog to the next. It was as if someone loved the book and was reverent to the beautiful language, but forgot that a movie is more than just dialog.
When you drift into the language, "Nights in Rodanthe" is a beautiful place. Unfortunately, there was more than a hurricane of emotions to confront before the film finished.
