If you are a Guy, or in rare instance, a girl, and won't be seeing this film, come over and say hi! Explain your motives for saying "hi!" (not seeing this movie)and overall have a good time!
Hello! I just wanted to say that not all women enjoy "chick flicks" or "chick lit." I didn't see "Sex and the City" or any of that stuff. Yes, despite my screen name, I am a female who HATES chick flicks! I'LL take a good football game (or even a bad football game) Over any movie ever shown on the Lifetime channel. My daughter dragged me to see "The Notebook" and it was torture. In fact, chick flicks should replace waterboarding at Gitmo as a form of torture.
And I can't stand Richard Gere, either. I never thought that beady-eyed thing was handsome and he's not aging well. Diane Lane is a decent actress who, despite the lack of any discernible ass, is still attractive -- it's nice to see a woman over a certain age who doesn't have that plastic Botoxed look. It's also refreshing to see a middle-aged man playing opposite a woman who is old enough to vote.
Out of curiousity I did watch the trailer and it totally underwhelmed me. I am proud to say that I have never seen a movie that includes lines like "It's all about choices" and "it's you I've been looking for all along" and my record shall not be broken by this film.
One question, though -- why do all these movies seem to have the same stock character -- The Sassy Black Friend (SBF)? SBF's apparently don't have lives of their own but just exist to aid, abet, and advise thin white women.
That said, "Nights in No See" should do well at the box office, after a summer of male-oriented films. Enjoy, ladies.
I'm a guy and I'll see this for Diane Lane.
Awesome actress and major cutie!
I made the mistake of taking my wife to a couple of chick flicks in years past, includng YA YA and GREEK WEDDING. Never again. And the title of this one alone will keep both of us away from it. Vomitous. Plus Gere is about 30 years too old to play a romantic role.
shareyeah Albert, "Sassy Black Friend" is Mammy version 2008.
shareGreat to hear all that!
This movie is such a chick flick, it's disgusting to see the preview. My girlfriend wants to see it, but there's no way I'm going. I'd rather see lakeview terrace than this shmoozy-fest!

OMG I am a GIRL and I hate Nicholas Sparks..all of the movies based on his books are BS, and this one looks so stupid. SO STUPID. SO CLICHED. SO REPITIVE...and just contrived. The scene in the trailer when they have sex makes me want to barf--um, it's sex. Get over it. GAWD...I hope all the little fan teenage girls marry men that cheat on them so they can have their own special night at Rodanthe...and never meet anyone who looks like Richard Gere or loves them.
k that was mean, but still...you get the picture.
I HATED the notebook...what a horrible movie.

I'm a guy and I won't be seeing this for 2 reasons:
1.) I'm not a lonely, middleaged woman who has such a boring life and no sexual excitement anymore that I need this to feel sexy and loved
2.) Neither is my girlfriend
I won't be seeing this because i can assume there will be none of the following in this movie:
Karate
Blood
Fart jokes
no nudity (if diane lane took it all off, I might rent it on DVD)
no car chases
no drug use (even though you could get through this movie after smoking about 2 ounces of weed)
I'm a guy and i HATE strictly romance movies-- i mean if it was a comedy like juno or a show like the OC ill watch it. but this movie is sh!t, all i see in the commercials is a house thats about to get washed away, the annoying face of gere and crappy romantic scenes that involve horses. wtf why does every romance movie have to involve horses on the beach???
It seems like this movie has nothing else going on in it except cliche plotlines that involve romance
p.s: i hope when a nor'easter comes; that house gets washed away with richard gere in it.

Is Diane Lane gonna get naked and do kinky things in this? If so, I shall be watching.
--------------------------------------
Hm, poor choice of words.
I (a guy) have seen NIR; the trailer is pretty true to the film's estrogen levels. Mr. ninja asks "Is Diane Lane gonna get naked and do kinky things in this? If so, I shall be watching." Sorry, ninja, no Diane skin, nothing real kinky either. But her wardrobe is commendable because it shows off her figure. She looks good; too good to have teenage kids, and a husband who cheated on her.
Unfortunately, Richard Gere does the best acting job in this film, because he pretends to be interested in Diane talking so much. I was like, Just doink her already. He finally did doink her. Gee, it's nice that these wealthy, great-looking people could console each other.
The post about the SassyBGF was hilarious; there are other cliche people in NIR:
Diane's frowny & bitchy daughter, angry at mom because... dad cheated on her?
The cranky, pickup-driving Rodanthian dude and his CroMagnon son.
The townsfolk who pretend to enjoy some bad whitebread creole music at a block party.
There ya have it. 2 thumbs down!
Can you explain what "plot-lines" a "strictly" romantic movie should have?
Can you list all the romance movies that have horses on the beach?
I'm a guy and enjoy a chick flick every now and then. If you want to call "The Notebook" a chick flick...well i enjoyed it very much. I wish that i would not have spent my hard working money on this DOG(nights in rodanthe). It was down right bad! As much as i love Diane Lane...she could not save this film. I don't like anything that looks FORCED in a movie when it comes to a relationship in a movie and this flick was showing it's forceness from beginning to end. One of the worst parts of the movie is the end where Diane Lane starts sobbing...she sounded like a hihinni! I wanted to laugh out loud it was so bad! The film only took in 13 million at the box office...not exactly a record breaker. This is a rental....nothing more unless you just have to see Richard Gere who is beginning to look his 60 years!
share*beep* man I need a movie to go with my girl and I thought this one was going to help me score.
Damn you Richard Gere, your only purpose in life is to make movies that help men score. If you cant even do that you should stay out of the screen.
Truer words.
Have never been spoken.
Bump because this is the onlty worthy thread on the board!
shareWhy do you need a fictious movie character to help you score? Is that who you want your sex partner to be thinking of in bed with you? Perhaps, work on your own romantic skills instead.

Bashing a movie you've never seen before. Wow you are all winners. You all sound like a-holes. I will be going to see it and I think it will be awesome because Diane Lane is the most gorgeous, amazingly talented actress in Hollywood!
shareHey guess what Starcassi, you're right.
We're bashing movie that we hopefully will never have to watch.
Yes we are winners.
Well, I am and A-hole
you jerk it to Meno-porn, thus,your previous statements are WRONG.

You are stupid.
All those heavy films are examples of what should be while this movie is one of what should not have been.

I love it when someone stupid calls someone "stupid" as if it would insult the other person.
share@cambaprecoz
First you insult someone rudely when you could have expressed yourself in a gentlemanly manner.
Then, you insist that what is correct is to be having racial violence, murder, raping one's own family member, family strife, shooting, gang banging, broken down drug using wrestlers ignoring their doctor's orders, father's inability to relate to their daughter so she's emotionally damaged, kidnapping, corruption in the police department and judicial system, endless suffering for a mother, etc...
Thank about what you spout off......and how it represents you.
Finally, what you fill your mind with shapes your personality, thought process and future actions.
Hi. I was forced to watch this with a female. 4/10, 'nuff said.

Would that female who forced you to watch have a reed flute commanding you to leave and return from your basket?
shareGoogle "cobra 427", you may learn something.

It was hard going. I guess if you're in the arms of someone who's loving you, you'll be safe. Because, as a guy, you'll need it. The WHOLE film, not just bits of it, is treacle.
I kinda get it though; women need to love and to save and be wanted. Men need to be important and loved and forgiven.
I think that's what binds the two. I'm a homosexual man and I don't know how this works with us, but I can get it here. It's touching.
However. It's quicksand!
