i'm a girl but i don't like girly movies. my little sister insisted that i watch the notebook and even though i really didn't want to, i did it so we could just hang out together. it was the most beautiful story ever. i don't want to ruin it for anyone that hasn't seen it but i was really amazed by this movie. as soon as i heard it was a chick flick i was like, nope, don't wanna see it. i'm really glad i did though. if anyone was having any reservations about seeing this movie i suggest they just do it. or you could read the book, the book's always better than the movie.
