Movie Reviews
The Best of Me. Really?!!!
They should have "Hollywood" aged the younger actors in this film as the older versions didn't have the spunk nor chemistry of their younger counterparts and looked nothing like the teenage versions. The film's running time was way too long to come to the hokey ending that was served up. Gerald McRaney put in a great performance, as did the younger version of the lovers. The film begins to lose steam when the lover's older counterparts come into play and the ridiculous subplots begin to lead toward a contrived- and dissatisfying- conclusion considering the long lead-in and direction the movie took prior to that point.
