Gosling gained a significant amount of fan following from the success of the film, and it seems one of them is his Barbie co-star Margot Robbie. In an interview with W Magazine, Gosling was made aware that people voted The Notebook as the number 1 movie that made them cry. Robbie agreed to the statement and offered her views of the film.
The Barbie star stated that The Notebook makes her cry every time she watches it, and she absolutely bawls her eyes out during the sad scenes. She even stops the film halfway to prepare herself for those scenes that come during the second half. Robbie said,
I would never not cry in The Notebook. It doesn’t matter how many times I see it, I bawl my eyes out. In fact, when I watch it, I stop halfway before it gets to the sad stuff.

It is a very sentimental film that carries one through a roller coaster of emotions, elevated by the brilliant performances of Gosling and McAdams.
