What If? (2013)

The Notebook (2004)
A classic Nicholas Sparks novel that wasn’t that good, to begin with, but the movie made it a phenomenon. A poor yet passionate young man falls in love with a rich young woman, giving her a sense of freedom.
However, social differences soon get in the way. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams had wonderful chemistry and made this movie worth the watch.
Two Weeks Notice (2002)
