Il diario di Suzanne per Nicholas

I found this movie to be one of the best on television in a long time. Christina Applegate is an excellent actress. She doesn't get the credit she deserves for her acting abilities. This was one of the movies where all the actors were good. Kathleen Rose Perkins is outstanding in her performance as Kate. The emotional scene where she is bed reading the journal and crying is one of scenes which should move her onto the big screen. I think she is going to be one of the major movie actresses in the future. The Lady has talent. The expressions in the eyes of Christina and Johnation told of real love. It came across in the scenes they had together. I didn't know they were real husband and wife until I read a bio on Christina before writing this comment. The movie is about love and loss and finding love again. It is a heart warming love story and finally one TV movie that does have an ending that will make you smile.

Christina Applegate had an amazing performance in this movie, the writing was incredible and she brought the character to life. I was in tears at the end of the movie, and even a couple times somewhere in the middle. Definitely hope it comes to video! I was impressed with the movie as I usually do not like made for TV movies, this one however moved me so much that I am running out first thing tomorrow morning to purchase the novel, as in TV land they had to edit out parts to fit the story line, but of the movie was that good with pieces missing, it must be extraordinary in its entirety.

At the time I read this book, I was the exact same age as Suzanne, my name is Suzanne, and I have been told by doctors all of my life to not have children as the pregnancy could kill me. Needless to say, I absolutely sobbed at the end of the book!!!!

The movie was a pretty good adaptation of the book, although I didn't cry anywhere near as much as I did with the book. I agree with one of the other posters above, I wish the whole story was about Suzanne, as her life was definitely more interesting than Kate's.

I find it hard to believe that Johnathon and Christina's marriage broke up not long after this movie - they had great chemistry!!

(By the way, I'm now 40, still alive and, unlike Matt and Suzanne in the book/movie, my husband and I decided it was best that I do NOT ever fall pregnant).

I believe this movie is underrated. I would give it 8/10. I have not read the book so I really have nothing to compare it. The movie is Predictable, but it has a final twist at the end which I love. I love movies with a final twist at the end like Safe Haven, meant to be, the notebook and so many out there. The actors were very believable and just as others have said here its two stories in one. Two women and one man. Each story of the same man Mathew with a different woman. In one Mathew the fun guy, the one that has a child inside, the positive and happy man. That is the man Suzanne got to know. By the other side Mathew the guy that has lost his spark, quite, hard to understand, with sad eyes and with a secret inside.

This movie made me cry towards the end. I consider worth watching and do not see why someone could give it a bad review. I was entertained all the way from start to finish waiting to see what was the mystery Nicolas had in his life. Of course at the beginning you kind of figure it out but the ending reveals something not expected.

Kate Wilkinson is a book editor who receives a copy of the diary of Dr. Suzanne Bedford, started in 2003 for her then unborn son Nicholas. We go back and forth from Suzanne's life to Kate's, which is unfortunate because I enjoyed Suzanne's life so much more.

At the start of the movie, Suzanne is a busy Boston physician who discovers she has heart problems. Because having a baby would risk her health, Suzanne ends up breaking up with her boyfriend who wanted children, and also moves to a less stressful island community to take over a general practice.

Among her neighbors is the quirky Melanie, who advises her that the house where Suzanne lives and works needs fixing up. Melanie refers her to a man who calls himself Picasso, a Brown graduate who gave up the corporate life working for his father in order to become a writer. Soon the relationship between Suzanne and her handyman becomes more than just friendship. When she becomes pregnant, Suzanne is advised to have an abortion but she refuses.

Suzanne's patients, including hypochondriac Earl ('What seems to be the problem?' 'What isn't?') care a lot about her. Sadly, all is not perfect in this paradise.

Kate starts a relationship of her own with Matt, a client who wrote about the same community where Suzanne lived. Meanwhile, Kate reads the diary and wonders if the story is true, and she learns lessons that help her in her own life.

It took a while, but I ended up liking Suzanne a lot, and I enjoyed her story, even with the problems she experienced, and I wished things had ended differently for her. I thought Christina Applegate did an admirable job, and I liked her goofy neighbors. I even sort of liked her sensitive bearded husband.

As for Kate, I couldn't stand her. I won't take anything away from Kathleen Perkins' performance, but somehow I couldn't find her appealing, even when the character mentioned growing up in North Carolina. That's the only part of her story I enjoyed, and it lasted about five seconds. Worse yet, Kate's story wasn't even completely in chronological order, though later I understood certain things better.

I would have been much happier if the entire movie had been Suzanne's diary, with no flashbacks.
