Dude, it's a good movie.

I don't mind the occasional chick flick.

In no way is it a good movie. The story about him being old and retelling his Alzheimer-stricken wife the story is admittedly touching, but the actual story itself is insane. He is a psychopathic maniac. She is a complete flake who pretty much dumps the "perfect guy" to be with him. They didn't even try to make that other guy seem like he was anything but perfect for her. They didn't try to give him flaws or make anything seem awkward, they just made sure that she had an endless amount of fricks to give for ryan gosling for 10 minutes at a time every 5 or 10 years. That poor sap.

The movie is bad and you should feel bad. I like some chick flicks, but "The Notebook" is just bad storytelling.

List of dude approved chick flicks:
"Intolerable Cruelty"
"America's Sweethearts"
"About Time"
"Love Actually"
"When Harry Met Sally"
That's about it.
