Romance movies like The Notebook set some of our grandest expectations for what a relationship should be like. But if you look closer, this rom-dram sends some very mixed messages. Because of the film's more toxic takeaways, some modern critics have written the film off entirely. But the story of these star-crossed lovers does still offer some meaningful messages.
