Nights in Rodanthe
?Nights in Rodanthe? is what Variety likes to call a ?weeper.? The term is not often intended as praise. The movie attempts to jerk tears with one clunky device after another, in a plot that is a perfect storm of cliche and contrivance. In fact, it even contains a storm ? an imperfect one.
