Remember Me

I know, I know... I'm on a R.Patz roll, but I love him. He's hot. Deal with it. On to the movie...

I was a bit skeptical of this movie considering this is Robert Pattinson's first big role aside from Twilight, and I just wasn't sure if it would be a success or a silly little flop. I can say now that it fell farther on the side of success than flop. I'm not going to claim that Pattinson is the greatest actor I've ever seen, but he is delightfully fun to look at. I would not particularly encourage our male readers to catch this film (unless you're a fan of Rob). For our female readers, though, I think this film is worth the watch. I was happily surprised by Remember Me.

Remember Me is essentially a movie about the many people who go on before us and who shape the lives they leave behind. At times the script seems disjointed but it all works towards this central idea, which is truthful and poignant. So while there are pieces of the plot that fell flat or didn't come together as much as they could have, it still made for a decent movie. It is, as most have assumed, a sad movie and while you may have ideas about the end, it was still able to surprise me. (Yes, I did cry)

I thought it was a believable love story with believably flawed characters. It is a story about sadness and loss, which might be disheartening to some but the ultimate point is one of depth. I was pleasantly surprised by this movie, and although it didn't have quite enough to make it a great movie, it did have enough to make it a touching film and one worth seeing. (especially if you like R.Patz as I do...)
