Reviews for Nights in Rodanthe
A movie that looks and sounds a whole lot bigger than it actually is.
03/04/09
While it may be discerned as more a vehicle for the actors' reunion than a creative gem, the contributive factor to its attractiveness is the chemistry of the match.
02/15/09
Even if you are rooting for this film to succeed, you find yourself sitting through the tear-jerking part of the movie without feeling terribly wrapped up in it.
02/10/09
Nights in Rodanthe is the cinematic equivalent of a Harlequin novel with a pack of tissues shoved into the back cover.
02/09/09
The actors once again work well together, but they should have quit when they were ahead.
02/05/09
Diane Lane and the Tuscan countryside prove to be a more dynamic duo than Diane Lane and the Outer Banks.

Bring tissues.

I will say this about Nights in Rodanthe: spoken Nicholas Sparks is preferable to written Nicholas Sparks.
11/09/08
Strictly for romantic masochists. Enough tears in the final reel to fill a Hollywood producer's swimming pool.
11/07/08
While not for the cynical or hard-of-heart, Nights in Rodanthe is something of a rarity: a film that puts its characters first.
11/07/08
A singularly unsuccessful look at mature love.
11/07/08
You can make a good movie out of schmaltz. This isn’t one of them.
11/07/08
Something about Diane Lane’s performance, especially in that third act, really got me involved in the film emotionally.
11/05/08
Top CriticMost of the movie was cloying. All of it was predictable.
11/05/08
Top CriticYou will get exactly what you are expecting. More or less, in any event. More in the case of the film's heart; less in the case of the last reel, when the storyline and execution dissolves into buckets of schmaltz.
11/05/08
You know,s ometimes a movie is worth it just because of its texture.

If the story is a dreary one, it is elevated by the star brio of Gere and Lane.
10/18/08
The comparative savvy that Wolfe showed in HBO’s stage-to-TV transfer of Lackawanna Blues has gone missing.
