  • Starring: Christopher Meloni, Diane Lane, Richard Gere
  • Summary: Adrienne, a woman still reeling from her husband's betrayal and struggling to rebuild a life without him, she welcomes the chance for escape when an old friend asks her to manage her inn in Rodanthe for a weekend. It's the off-season and the inn would be shuttered but for the unlikely arrival of its solitary guest, Paul, a doctor from the city. A man who long ago sacrificed his family to his career, Paul has come to Rodanthe to fulfill a difficult obligation and to face his own crisis of conscience. They are two strangers sharing the same roof. But as a major storm closes in, they turn to each other for comfort, and set in motion a life-changing romance that will resonate through the rest of their lives. (Warner Bros. Picture)… Expand

    Rodanthe is a reliably steamy stormy sultry story.

    It's like "The Bridges Of Madison County" with more shouting, only not nearly as good. No surprises whatsoever, but nice scenery, attractive stars and another credible, affecting performance from Lane that hoiks it up an extra star.

    A slow-moving, unashamedly weepy, middle-age love story of the kind big-studio Hollywood doesn't often make anymore.

    The movie attempts to jerk tears with one clunky device after another, in a plot that is a perfect storm of cliche and contrivance. In fact, it even contains a storm -- an imperfect one.

    Ahhh... what a chick-flick! I loved it as a 2-box movie. (You'll need two boxes of tissues if you'll go & see it) As long as you know what you're going to see, I can recommend it. The house looked great!!!… Expand

    I thought this movie was pretty entertaining for a love story. I thought the storyline itself was different and had the right amount of comedy, sappiness and drama. I was surprised by the ending. I guess not all love stories have that stereotypical happily ever after. I do feel that this still ended on a good note in that she learned a lot about herself and what she wanted out of life. And come on, how can you go wrong with Richard Gere and Diane Lane!… Expand

    The good production and fine cast can't make up for the stifling slow pace of the film. It is slow to get started, and at best reached a state of barely not bored. The film never ignites.… Expand
