It's tough to make it through Nights in Rodanthe without wincing at its sticky-sweet sentimentality.

Hardly groundbreaking, but for those with an appetite for an increasingly rare gust of unapologetic romance, well, as they say, any port in a storm.
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.
Lane and Gere mime adult courtship with the efficiency of synchronized swimmers. Yet in this ocean of emotion, they look like they're drowning.
The movie attempts to jerk tears with one clunky device after another, in a plot that is a perfect storm of cliche and contrivance. In fact, it even contains a storm -- an imperfect one.
Less than the sum of its parts, which were problematic to begin with.
It's no wonder the faithful continue to forsake the movies, given junky embarrassments like Nights in Rodanthe.

I’m not even a woman and I’m thinking this is kind of the perfect movie.
