There was nothing on TV last night, as often happens late in the summer before the fall seasons start and the summer ones finish up. I looked through all 300+ channels on our satellite (included about 50 each of sports and pay-per-view, which I never watch) and there was not one thing on I wanted to watch.
Generally, we have a back log of shows tivoed, but some how we had caught up. So I decided to watch "Nights in Rodanthe" since it was something I'd never seen. I thought it might be okay.
It wasn't. The movie stars Diane Lane as Adrienne Willis, a married mother of two who agrees to watch over a friend's bed and breakfast in Rodanthe for a weekend. She needs the time away to think anyway since her cheating husband (Christopher Meloni) has just asked to come back home. Of course, while she is at the bed and breakfast, her one guest is a doctor (Richard Gere) who is full of regret. Guess who is going to fall in love by the end of the movie?
Basically the movie is one two-hour long downer and it really isn't that entertaining. An hour in my mother said it was a really long movie and I pointed out it wasn't that long - it was just really boring.
From now on, I will stick to my philosophy of avoiding any movies based on books by Nicholas Sparks.

i saw it on my flight from chicago to london last year and thought it was okay. of course, on a long flight one's entertainment threshold tends to decrease significantly :P
