Nicolas Sparks writes a kind of books you will probably find your mother's night night. His romances were thrilled (mostly women) readers around the world for nearly 30 years, with over 130 million copies sold according to his web site. Many of his novels follow the same formula, but clearly, he has found a winner: Starwar Lovers' stories often set up in vibrant coastal American small cities, where a deep and permanent connection is tested by a tragic twist.

Nicholas Sparks' stories did not make the silver screen jump by 1999 by adapting his second novel, "Bottle Message". Starwear Kevin Costner fits perfectly into the Sparks Universe, showing the SEAT-American, rough man-stiants and protective, but still warm. We have seen Kevin Costner plays similar roles in some of his best moviesIncluding "Bull Durham" and "Field of Dreams". He plays a widow that writes a movable Love -Board letter and puts it in a bottle placed at sea. He was found by a journalist named Teresa, played by the incisive Robin Wright. She follows Garrett down in North Carolina, despite his heart's heart, the two are beginning to be in the run.

Although Roger Ebert rejected "Bottle Message" as a "stupid melodrama", It was a commercial success, earning $ 118 million with a $ 30 million budget (through my box office). The audience was clearly attracted to these romances that take place and followed a wave of adaptations. 11 of Sparks' novels have been adjusted so far, earning over $ 750 million combined (according to numbers). While they certainly attract audiences, the substance (or lack of them) of these films often leaves much to be desired.

Eleven of Nicholas Sparks' novels have been adapted as films so far: "Bottle Message", "Remembering", "Notebooks", "Nights in Rhodant", "Drag Johnon", "The Last Song", "Happiness", "Safe Shelter", "The Best Me", "The Longest Selection".

Many of the films bring the worst qualities of Nicolas Sparks' books, especially how many stories are interchangeable. This even became a meme, where all posters use the same picture and should be titled White people are almost kissing.

Many of his characters have no depth and are nothing more than sexist clichés, with men as "strong, quiet types" that are softened by the loveable to nurture women in need of rescue. Stories often rely on situations and tragedies that take place at the heart of almost absurd, spinning plot, which are more emotionally manipulative than significant. The "Bottle Message", for example, is cut off on its knees with its dramatic and excessive waving twist that rings false.

There is one adaptation - despite its 53% rating on rotten tomatoes - it's Nicholas Sparks' best film unambiguously. Grounding director style and flawless casting of Nick Casetoves helps trademark Nicholas Sparks Pathos to feel more original. Ryan Gosling, Rachel Mac Adams, the unmatched Genna Rowlands (own mother of Kasovets) and Jameseshei Garner take their roles seriously and bring a real passion for their roles. When you see the "notebook", you fully believe that Nicolas Sparks' sentimental insistence that Loveube can last a lifetime and conquer all difficulties, she is considered one of The biggest romantic movies ever made.

The brush with the brush with which Nicholas Sparks is wide, but the audience continues to gather in his stories. Kevin Costner's participation, Robin Wright and Paul Manumman in the first adaptation, "Bottle Message", set the standard for other great actors who would join the canon of Nicholas Sparks, such as Greg Kinear, Richard Gere, Diane Lane, Zac Efron. Regardless of the criticism you can have about Nicholas Sparks, these films are a chance for the actors to truly fuel their dramatic chops in roles aimed at moving people and choosing strong emotional reactions, which is often the reason why they chose to act first.
