Review of The Best of Me (2014) by Johnnybeebadd — 01 Oct 2015
One of the most "painful" films I have ever sat through. My girlfriend was recommended this movie (it had to be a 'set-up') and as stated in a few reviews prior, although I don't typically agree with Critic(s) Reviews, they absolutely hit the hammer on the nail with this (Critic Average Score: mid-20's).
The acting is brutal, the story line predictable and the acting melodramatic/over-the-top (and unrealistic). The title ("The Best of Me") should be a dead giveaway, however, if you must, proceed with low expectations and wondering to yourself, "Why? Why? Why? Did I waste two (2) solid hours on this? Why?" I give the cast an "A" for effort (as they really, really, really tried to pull this off) but it fails miserably, as it Yo-Yo's you through 120 minutes of fluff.
"The Best of Me", No. Could easily be re-branded/repackaged/resold as "The Worst of Me" and (being fair) set the viewer up for what's to come.
