Goofs:
Errors in geography: The wild horses talked about (and seen) do not exist where the movie takes place. They are actually about 60 miles north near Corolla. They would have to swim across a wide inlet to get to Rodanthe from Corolla. Another herd of these wild horses is on Ocracoke Island, about 35 miles south, but are penned in for their protection. Another herd of these wild horses are located on the Cape Lookout National Seashore, and freely roam between Cape Lookout, Shackleford Banks, and Carrot Island, near Beaufort, NC.

Quotes:
Adrienne Willis:
I know you've only ever known your father and me. And I love Jack, because he is your father. But there's another kind of love, Amanda. One that gives you the courage to be better than you are, not less than you are. One that makes you feel that anything is possible. I want you to know that you could have that. I want you to hold out for it.

Diane Lane has announced her retirement from acting. (And, perhaps, from being Diane Lane. I've seen her referred to as Diane Brolin after her marriage to Josh.) So if you want to see this underrated actress, you have two last chances: the upcoming Killshot, in which her character is chased around by a hit man named Armand The Blackbird¿ Degas, or the current Nights in Rodanthe. I'm guessing more of her talents are on display in the latter. George C. Wolfe, who won a Tony for directing Angels in America and ran the Public Theater in New York, made his name handling edgy material but seems right at home in Rodanthe, which adapts one of Nicholas Sparks' soothing, tea-with-honey novels. (Ann Peacock and John Romano are credited with the screenplay.) Lane plays Adrienne Willis, who's running an inn on the Outer Banks in the brief absence of its owner. She expects four days to give her plenty of solitude the inn has only one guest so she can decide if she wants to let straying husband Jack (Christopher Meloni) come back. But the guest is Paul Flanner (Richard Gere), a Raleigh surgeon whose baggage is almost entirely psychological. He has come to the Banks to meet the husband of a woman who died on his operating table (soulful Scott Glenn), and to humble himself before visiting his estranged son (James Franco) at a remote clinic in Ecuador. Paul and Adrienne are soon walking on the sand, then smooching in the attic. Nights in Rodanthe is a very well made and well acted romance with a heart.
