Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter : “Nights in Rodanthe is typical Nicholas Sparks fare that has been turned into a tasteful melodrama courtesy of the easy chemistry between its two leads and a generally restrained touch from Tony-winning director George C. Wolfe in his feature debut.” CONSENSUS VIEW Presentation and Review © David Bruce. Photos © Warner Bros. Pictures

Director George C. Wolfe: "Circumstances and dynamics evolve. Sometimes life and the universe offer us something we never expected or had given up hoping for." Presentation and Review © David Bruce. Photos © Warner Bros. Pictures

I like what director George C. Wolfe says, "People go through a good portion of their lives making decisions and choices that are either good or bad, right or wrong, and they often feel that the state to which it brings them is permanent. It's as if they reach a certain point and say, 'Okay, this is my life; this is what I made of it and this is all I get.'" The message in this film is: There is more! Never give up. Life will surprise you. Get out there and let it happen! I like what that old Hebrew prophet Isaiah once wrote: “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” Presentation and Review © David Bruce.

"Nights in Rodanthe" suggests that: 1. It's never too late to find that one true connection 2. It is never too late to regain the self you lost along the way 3. There is more than just living the life you thought you wanted-or that others expected of you Presentation and Review © David Bruce. Photos © Warner Bros. Pictures

Never give up. The best is yet to come! Presentation and Review © David Bruce. Photos © Warner Bros. Pictures
