This movie is really, really popular, especially among a very particular subset of college-age females. Again, I "ain't hatin';" everybody's entitled to their own means of diversion and vicarious experience. I play D&D, so. Can't really talk.
I do want to propose an interesting thought experiment about The Notebook, though. Most of its fans take it totally at face value and get rather indignant at this sort of thing, so I thought I'd cause some people irritable bowel syndrome.
The thought experiment goes like this: conjure up The Notebook in your mind, with its plot line, and its images, your favorite scene, all that stuff. Now do this: reverse the gender of every character.
Doesn't that just make it a thousand times more _____ (insert: horrible, misogynistic, raunchy, whatever)? Now, Notebook fans, imagine how your insistence that your significant others watch it with you might make them feel.
TL;DR I hate The Notebook.
