Chick Flick Wednesday at The Strand!
Join us for a cocktail social starting at 7:00pm, followed by a

Heading into Valentine's Weekend, the lovely ladies of Chick
Flick Wednesday picked this intense romance about a poor yet
passionate young man (Ryan Gosling) who falls in love with a
rich young woman (Rachel McAdams), giving her a sense of
freedom. But the couple is soon separated because of their
social differences.
According to Director Nick Cassavetes, Ryan Gosling and Rachel
McAdams did not get along at first and Gosling tried to have
McAdams replaced. To improve the relationship between the leads,
Cassavetes staged an intervention by bringing them into a room
where they could air all of the grievances they had with each
other and work something out. They soon patched up their
differences, enough to become a real-life couple for some time.
Ryan Gosling prepared for his role by living in Charleston,
South Carolina before filming began. For two months, he rowed
the Ashley River every morning and built furniture during the
day. He even built the kitchen table featured in the
movie.
Rachel McAdams also spent time in Charleston before filming to
familiarize herself with the surroundings. In addition, she took
ballet and etiquette classes and had a dialect coach to learn
the southern accent.
