Tyler Hawkins is really pissed with his dad. After the loss of his son, ignoring his awkward 11-year old daughter, and being a work-a-holic, Charles Hawkins (Pierce Brosnan) keeps himself occupied to free his mind from the tragic event in the family. Tyler meets Ally (Emillie De Ravin), which stirs his life around and make his life from rebellious to sensible.
REMEMBER ME EFFECTS LIKE NO ROMANTIC. 'Tis the movie for romance enthusiast, yes? Then why the hell, even me, who is more drawn and moved by Thrillers and Actions, didn't felt the romance goin' on?? Director Allen Coulter, who is also the director of Hollywoodland didn't ignite the fire of the romance movie-hunters especially of the romance genre is looking for.
It was not convincing, with the plot too twisted and minor characters too involved. A truly comic and obnoxious roommate could be ditched of its major involvement by the two lovers's story. The character Aidan (Tate Ellington) persuades Tyler to hit on Ally, and just leave her once done. Of course, the "best friend" of the main lead proxies the couple in their trips, AND awkwardly shares a room with them.
Tate Ellington plays Aidan Hall, Tyler's best friend. |
In the opening sequence we figure that Ally's mom was shot by crooks in the subway, only connoting connection with Tyler to their similar fate, both losing a loved one. We expect that this element of the film would stretch out the film to goodness, make it inspiring, yes it did. Only it was too much: stretched-out.
PETER BROSNAN AND ROBERT PATTINSON. OH GREAT. LIKE GREAT GREAT. I was happy to learn that Robert Pattinson is once a movie out of the Saga that I would be happy to see die, because I've seen one of those films (Twilight), and I thought Pattinson has raw acting skills. It was for the first time I saw Rob out of Twilight--and he did good. At least. Thanks to the Lord!
Rob P. plays a very good role of a loving brother and a sincerely pissed son out of love, which was one of Tyler Hawkin's most admirable trairts in this film. I was only bothered with the sequences that Tyler lost temper, him rushing in to his dad's office, and throwing a child's desk at school. His relationship with his sister was the most moving.
Peter Brosnan, his name rings a bell, perhaps he is from a movie I've watched before? Oh.. Mister Johnson from the year '91! It was stun-ning!! Anyway, he plays a grim and work-a-holic of too much, dad in this movie. His confrontation scene with Robert Pattinson was emotionally the most effective of all scenes.
Pierce Brosnan plays Charles Hawkins, he's a salvation to the fiilm! |
Remember Me effects like a family drama. I am not really worried about it though. It was supposed to be a romantic drama, and if it should be that, then this one didn't effected well. An almost "good" drama, only mistakes barricades the door to "goodness". 3 stars!
