Adrienne Willis, a woman with her life in chaos, retreats to the tiny coastal town of Rodanthe, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, to tend to a friend's inn for the weekend. Here she hopes to find the tranquility she so desperately needs to rethink the conflicts surrounding her--a wayward husband who has asked to come home and a teenaged daughter who resents her every decision. Almost as soon as Adrienne gets to Rodanthe, a major storm is forecast and Dr. Paul Flanner arrives. The only guest at the inn, Flanner is not on a weekend escape but rather is there to face his own crisis of conscience. Now, with the storm closing in, the two turn to each other for comfort and, in one magical weekend, set in motion a life-changing romance that will resonate throughout the rest of their lives.

Whether this is a simple dallyance or full blown love is for the film to answer not for the words here. Safe to say that although this does not break stunningly new ground in any way, it is however a really well made and acted bit of romance in a stunning setting, that I would definately say is worth a watch.
Richard Gere and Diane Lane – together at last for the third time! And they still have next to no chemistry. They first crossed body fluids in Francis Coppola’s underrated The Cotton Club nearly a quarter of a century ago. He was 34. She was 18. Neither of them had enough pull to make the movie a hit. Cut to 2002. Adrian Lyne casts them as a married couple and this time moviegoers are all for it. But it was Lane’s dalliance with Olivier Martinez that sold Unfaithful, while... Read more
