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...
Leave your thoughts about Nights in Rodanthe.
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...the film ultimately earns a place for itself within the pantheon of effectively stirring romantic tearjerkers. |
| AV ClubNathan RabinThis isn't a movie: it's a feature-length Ralph Lauren commercial. |
| E! OnlineMatt StevensFans of weepy romances will dig it; the rest of us would prefer a battle with mutant, killer rats. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowClose-ups were invented for Lane's rare beauty, inside and out. We feel that it is her spirit as an actress and a character illuminating this story. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderThe central performances are solid -- but they'd have to be, to make something this rote and formulaic come even close to working. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanThis is one of the increasingly rare Hollywood films that treat people in middle age as though their feelings were just as intense and their needs just as valid as those of people half their age. |

| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsBetty Jo Tucker'Nights in Rodanthe' serves up too much manipulated sentimentality for my taste, even though I admit being incurably romantic most of the time. |
| At the MoviesBen LyonsSomething about Diane Lane's performance, especially in that third act, really got me involved in the film emotionally. |
| At the Movies (Australia)Margaret PomeranzYou can make a good movie out of schmaltz. This isn't one of them. |
