Is it really about a Notebook?

"The Notebook" is not entirely a film about a..well, notebook. This notebook consists of a love story about a boy and a girl in their early teenage years, as well as a device of rememberance for that same boy and girl say, 50+ years later.
The film cuts between one couple, the early years of their relationship and to the present day of their marriage. The woman, Ally, is diagnosed with the disease Alzheimer's and her "true" love, Noah, reads and re-reads their love story to help her remember who he is and what they share.
It's a very romantic and inspiring story that could make anyone's heart melt. I fell in love with this film the first time i saw it, and still do today. Although the book by Nicholas Sparks was just as good, the film adds a little more extra for both the young and old to enjoy.
"Now here is a story that could have been a tearjerker, but -- no, wait, it is a tearjerker, it's just that it's a good one." -- roger ebert
