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.

Location, Emotion, Flirtation....

PaulaWestwood from , 21st October, 2008

Going into this thinking samey romantic fluff, I was more than impessed with the result. During a trial separation from her husband, Adrienne (Diane Lane) has been tasked with running a remote beachfront hotel by the owner (her flirty friend who is off for a break seeking male company), it turns out the hotel was to be closed except one paying guest Dr Flanner (Richard Gere) has booked in and offered to pay over the usual rate for the priviledge. There turns out to bee a decidedly non-romantic reason for the doctors visit, but isolated and emotionally scarred as they both are, its not difficult to guess the refuge they find in each others company. 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.

A predictable middle age romantic flick

Picktokyo from from London, England, 20th October, 2008

Here for more, Richard Gere is once again starring in a mellow romantic movie installment. As all of you who has watched his previous movie, it is actually more or less predictable. Two middle aged man and woman, which are wounded from the event in the past and family struggle bot meet up in a beach house, by the time passing each begin to realize how they can fulfill to each others need and to heal. Not a really great movie or terribly insightful one, but definitely worth trying to fit a lonely weekend.

Painful

leetinolcfc from , 22nd February, 2009

Let me start by saying i have been forced by my wife to watch a lot of sloppy romantic films including the likes of the notebook, sleepless in seattle, dirty dancing... the list goes on but this is the worst ive seen. Its corny, you can see whats going to happen a mile off and to sum up its just crap. No doubt i'm not the only husband who has to sit through this kind of drivvle but please please please avoid this at all costs

Lonely man/Lonely lady ..

TinaO from , 11th December, 2009

Richard Gere as a slightly sad visitor to the beach house, which just happens to be managed by a slightly sad female friend of the owner. Could be a recipe for a over-slushy movie, but it isn't too awful. Lovely location, great storm scene, funny one too in the kitchen sorting out cupboards. Underlying compassionate story for the doctor (Gere), which makes it a bit meatier. However, don't expect too much, after all, I rented it for Gere, rather than the storyline. He was much lovelier when he was younger, but not too bad silver haired!
