For those of us living on the East Coast and familiar with the Outer Banks, "Nights in Rodanthe" is a must-see if only for the familiar surroundings. It's based on Nicholas Sparks' novel of the same name, and the exterior shots were filmed in Rodanthe on Hatteras Island. The actual house used in the exteriors, "Serendipity," is full of character as many Outer Banks cottages are. This is a true old maiden of a place, unlike the sleek all-amenities homes north of Duck. It's what the Outer Banks has always been about.
"Nights in Rodanthe" is a simple five-hanky story, but it's a great way to spend a couple of hours. Diane Lane is her usual charming self; Richard Gere, who I normally don't care for, actually gives a pretty low-key and sweet performance.
You'll like it.
