This movie is so f*cking predictable. Just imagine the worst that could happen in key moments of the movie and you know exactly what's going to happen next. Although that's something most of the romantic movies have, this time it's just too much. Especially for a movie with this rating.

I just watched this for the second time. I remembered the title, but not the story line. So it was a refresher. Get ready for the tissue box, but it's a really good movie that no one should miss if you love romantic dramas. I really liked how they kept going back and forth in time to tell us the story of how they met. They did a great job with the editing and timing of the story for the most part. There is a slightly confusing part near the end where the timings don't jive, but me and my family knew what they meant. Another viewer said this movie was better than the novel it was based upon called 'The Grand Design' by Nicholas Sparks, but I have not read it so I can't give you my opinion. And I just realized that the writer of this novel also wrote several other novels that were made into movies that I love, especially 'The Notebook' being my one of my favorites. So, if you are contemplating on whether to watch this or not, a resounding yes would be the answer! It's very worth it.

It describes the relationship with man and woman. They used to love each other but now they live apart. However even so they're still attracted by one another, having a huge regret for the past. As for the editing, you will notice the unique way of it. It is usual that story goes through with the passage of the time, but in the story, initially it tells about the current circumstance of them, and as the time goes by, the past stories are inserted one by one. Therefore, you will gradually figure out their past relationship as well as the recent ones. In addition to that, it is also interesting that the story focuses on when they're grown-up rather than when they are youth. Generally speaking, most of the love stories tend to mention love in youth but this movie relies on the irregular way. To sum up, you can enjoy how their love move forward with the unusual style of description.

I usually read the book before I go see the movie, but I hadn't in this case. The love story of Amanda and Dawson is beautifully told with flashbacks (I often hate them but they didn't bother me at all in this movie) and their present day life. Luke Bracey and Liana Liberato really do an awesome job as the young Dawson and Amanda and I love Michelle Monoghan and James Marsden as their older versions. Gerald McRaney is perfectly cast as Tuck, Dawson's "surrogate" father. The scenery/decor is amazing on screen especially Tuck's garden en the water tower. The only negative is the predictable and obviously unwanted ending. As soon as Jared was in the hospital you knew what the outcome would be. It also went a little too fast, like they quickly had to put an end to it. I loved The Horsewhisperer and like that book/movie the male lead was the hero and also the "loser" of the story. In short I very much enjoyed The best of me, but I still wish for a better ending.
