Leave your thoughts about The Best of Me.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekRife with the most crushingly obvious Sparksisms, from stereotypical characters to inane plotting and pseudo-profound observations about life and love. |
| Showbiz JunkiesRebecca MurrayThe declining level of quality has bottomed out with the worst of the Nicholas Sparks book-inspired lot: The Best of Me. |
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyThe Best Of Me is neither the best Sparks adaptation, nor the worst; it’s merely the most recent. |
| Movie TalkJason BestYou know what to expect: a star-crossed romance for lovers from different worlds, kisses in the rain, moonlight swims, fateful separations and the tragic death of at least one leading character. |
| The PlaylistKimber MyersThe Best of Me features actors who are playing well above their material, but Monaghan and Marsden aren’t enough to save this film. |
| New York Magazine/VultureBilge EbiriIn The Best of Me, the melodrama feels so hurried and half-baked that the end result isn’t just disappointing. It’s borderline infuriating. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfMe didn't have to be classy, but remaining human would've been nice. |
| Film Journal InternationalMichael SauterBy the end credits, before the tears even dry, all but the true Sparks faithful will understand that they've just been played. Again. |
| Entertainment WeeklyJason ClarkEven with lowered expectations toward escapist fare taken into account, the film is a long slog, with Marsden and Bracey conveying little but Crest smiles and smolder, while Liberato and Monaghan are stuck doing endless cry-face. |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamAs a drama, it fails, but the camp value is high, making it more fun than your average would-be weeper. It's silly, but at least it's not a slog. |
