Remember Me

Michelle's Review

Last night, Greg and I had what could be our last date before our baby is born.  We aren't really creative on what we do on our dates.  It is either dinner or a movie.  Either way, we love going to movies together, obviously and love going on dates even more!

Neither of us had really looked into this movie much before we went to it, so I had no idea what to expect.  This movie is not for the faint of heart or for someone in the mood for a perfect love story.  From the very beginning, the movies starts off very intense and honestly leaves you in shock at the end.  Thankfully, some characters do find peace or forgiveness along the way, so I did leave feeling better about most of the characters.  But as a warning, the ending is not a happy one though, so beware.

I have never really liked Rob Pattison as an actor, even in the "Twilight" saga.  He just doesn't seem to fit that part very well to me, but I thought he was EXCELLENT in this movie.  Honestly, his best role yet.

The story line keeps you constantly guessing and wanting to know what will happen next, which really makes for a great movie.  While we both left the movie stunned, we really liked how it was written, directed, etc.  However, this movie will not receive a high rating for cleanliness at all.  Lots of language and sex scenes.  We closed our eyes several times unfortunately.

Entertainment: 5 stars

Originality: 4.5 stars

Message: 3 stars

Cleanliness: .5 stars

Acting: 4.5 stars

Overall: 3.5 stars

Greg's Review

I had no idea what this movie was about going into it and I was really surprised perhaps because of that reason.  I thought that the acting was good and the entire movie was very engaging and intense.  The opening scene was heart wrenching and likewise was the ending.  The downside was that there was a lot of bad language and sexual content.  It seems like you can't escape that type of thing unless you watch G rated movies all the time.  Anyway, to the review:
 
Entertainment:  4.5 stars

Acting:  4.5 stars

Originality:  4 stars
(It was pretty unpredictable)

(Perhaps, although life gives you lemons you can make lemonade?)

Cleanliness:  1 star

Overall:  3.5 stars
