A litany of romance movie cliches, it completely misses the core of grief and sadness that makes Nights In Rodanthe such a moving and emotionally satisfying experience.....Though the choppy, occasionally uncertain direction by TV vet George C.

Everything is lost on the director.
Gere seems unsure of himself

It's not a bad movie, just not one playing in the same league of the other Sparks' classics.
The problem with Nights in Rodanthe isn't that it's a Nicholas Sparks adaptation.
