Product Description
A DOCTOR WHO IS TRAVELING TO SEE HIS ESTRANGED SON SPARKS WITHAN UNHAPPILY MARRIED WOMAN AT A NORTH CAROLINA INN.
The sparks between Richard Gere and Diane Lane--so memorable in Unfaithful--smolder again in the sweepingly romantic Nights in Rodanthe. Based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks, the film is unapologetically sentimental, and enjoyable completely on its own terms--a small gem of an escape, complete with storm-tossed coastline. Lane plays Adrienne, a wronged wife whose husband (Christopher Meloni) was a heel, but begs for another chance. She goes to clear her head at a remote North Carolina inn, where the sole occupant is Paul, a doctor, played by Gere, who is battling his own demons. If the writing is on the wall about what will become of our two leading actors, it's to Lane's and Gere's deep credit that they make their tentative connection, wariness, and growing feelings human and quite believable. Love is messy, and grownup love, even more so. As they get to know each other, Adrienne shows Paul a small wooden box that holds her keepsakes: "I made it to keep special things safe." Paul turns to her, looking her squarely but gently in the eye, and says, "What keeps you safe?" At that moment, every woman watching the film is in the palm of his hand. The film squarely addresses the reality that people over age 25 do, in fact, yearn for, and find, love. If only more studios would realize the deep, appreciative audience for films like this. --A.T.

 Romance at 60 February 6, 2010
R. Stane
I have just turned 60...I'm active and young for my age...And it was refreshing to see a couple of people my age fall in love. Richard Gere and Diane Lane seemed to me, to be just right for each other, although it was the farthest thing from each of their minds when they met. Each was struggling with family issues...with strained relationships with their children...and deep setbacks in their lives. They needed time to be alone and reflect. This was the setting and time in their life that they met. The North Carolina beach house on the ocean, was extremely scenic and charming. Adrienne (Diane Lane) had a friend who owned the inn, and was allowing her to use it, and fill in as the caretaker. Paul was a surgeon (Richard Gere) who came to the inn to get away, and also talk to the family of a patient that had died in surgery. Adrienne and Paul began to open up to each other and confide. They gave each other understanding and wise supportive counsel. But not without some inner turmoil. The depth of understanding and caring in their time of need brought them together in a very sweet and deep romance. I was brought to tears, because it deeply stirred my own romantic heart, even at 60!
 Utterly Predictable February 6, 2010

I'm a sucker for romantic stories with tragic endings. This should have worked, but it did not! I was actually so bored, that I stopped watching in the middle. Later, I watched the rest and, yes, I did know how it would end. I felt that this was truly a "pot-boiler". "Just write another one just like the last one." Too bad...pretty people and scenery though.
 A DUD... February 4, 2010

... and what a shame, because the two worthy leads try hard, with Gere probably faring better than Lane... whose part seems to be not as well-written as that of Gere. It's too bad that one of the few current cinematic attempts to explore mature adult-relationships among still very attractive protagonists, lapses into the banal and predictable, with a cheap emotional trick at the conclusion. Of note, however, is the fine understated... though powerful performance of the supporting player, Scott Glenn... a wonderful example of: acting without seeming to act... and still conveying volumes.
I'm glad that I didn't see this in the theatre and waited, instead, until its release on DVD, as its worth would not have been equal to the price of admission.
This movie should have been much better,and is, sadly, an example of the "whole equaling less than the sum of its parts".
Nights in Rodanthe not a "must see" January 27, 2010
Hancy
I bought Nights in Rodanthe hoping to see a great movie set in one of my favorite vacation spots--the Outer Banks of North Carolina. There were a few shots of familiar things, but not a lot. Still, it would have been acceptable if the movie had had any substance. I found it rather boring and anxiously awaited its end. I rank it with the other duds I've seen--Cold Mountain, Australia...It was simply stated--weak.
