Cert PG
Romance/Drama
With her marriage in freefall, Adrienne Willis (Diane Lane) takes time out to spend a weekend in the North Carolina coastal community of Rodanthe, looking after the beachside inn run by her good friend.
Only one guest has booked in for the weekend so Adrienne should have lots of time to contemplate her future.
The promise of peace and quiet is short-lived with the arrival of the inn’s solitary guest, Dr Paul Flanner (Richard Gere).
Adapted from the best-selling novel by Nicholas Sparks (‘The Notebook’), ‘Nights In Rodanthe’ is a slushy romance that shamelessly tugs the heartstrings with its contrived tale of chance encounters.
There’s an inevitability to the tears of the final act, accomplished with surprisingly little fanfare.
Star Rating: 3/5.
