Richard Gere has a generational persona. To those who first saw him in the 1970s, playing bad boy types like Looking for Mr. Goodbar and Days of Heaven, he's a lot different than those who think of him as the perpetually romantic fellow from An Officer and a Gentleman and Pretty Woman. I watched Nights in Rodanthe with my mom, and she was so surprised by how romantic his character was. I just chuckled, since I've always known him to be romantic on the screen. My point is, no matter when you grew up, you'll love him in Nights in Rodanthe.
This is a Nicholas Sparks story, so you can be treated to the beautiful landscape of the North Carolina coast. After Christopher Meloni left his wife Diane for another woman, there's been horrible tension in her home with her two children. When he decides he's had his fling and now wants to return home, Diane needs time to think. She seeks refuge in her friend's, Viola Davis's, coastal bed and breakfast during storm season because there won't be any other guests. The inn has weathered many storms before so she'll be in no danger, and it'll be great for solitude and peace of mind. Only, she isn't alone for very long. Richard shows up, and he has a reservation. I know we're all going to be paying attention to Richard's gorgeous hair, but there is another part of the scenery that is even more breathtaking. Filmed on location, Viola's house on the beach is so pretty, and the view of the East coast will make you want to pack your bags for a vacation. If you do, you'll be able to rent one of those real beach houses, since a whole batch of them were turned into hotel rentals inspired by this movie. Pretty adorable, huh?
This incredibly romantic story is ideal for a girls' night in, as long as you make sure you have tons of cocktails and Kleenex at the ready. Sometimes, romance is just so sweet, it makes you want to cry. For anyone who gets depressed when the movie's over because they've never met anyone like Richard in real life, just remember it's a Nicholas Sparks novel. In real life, you'll have to settle for a man.
