The Best of Me Nicholas Sparks film adaptation is set for release on October 17, as reported by thewrap.com!

The movie tells the story of two high school sweethearts who reignite their romance, 20 years later. An oil rig accident serves to be the best for James Marsden's character. Getting thrown into the ocean in Nicholas Sparks' The Best of Me makes Marsden's character miss his first love, a character played by Michelle Monaghan.

The movie's story line centers around the two lovers, who first fell in love two decades earlier. The younger Marsden character falls for the younger version of his lady love, despite social status differences that tried to keep them apart.

A gun incident two decades earlier was the focal situation that separated the young lovers.

Audiences may find this film adaptation as somewhat closely similar to The Notebook. Both movies center itself around the story line of a Romeo and Juliet theme.

Hopeless romantics may still want to excitedly watch this movie. They may get on preparing tissues for those teary-eyed moments. Other audiences, though, may find this movie old and may skip on watching it.

Others may just relate to the movie's difficult romance situation. These audiences may include teens that are on the verge of falling in love. Relating to this movie actually depends on the demographics of audiences in the market.

Let's wait and see if Nicholas Sparks' The Best of Me makes it big in the box office.
