I haven't read the book so I can't judge if the movie is better or worse. I can say though that Best of Me shouldn't be judged for plenty predictable turns. It's a love story after all, no matter how hard you try, it will end up as a story about love between two people.

So it is predictable, but it's a well filmed beautiful love story, with plenty of lovely shots and quite good acting. Still, I can't say that the script was well done and here's why. (Be careful, huge spoilers to come). We can predict from the start that this love story won't have a happy ending. So many things in dialogs are completely unnecessary. For example, when Amanda got a call from her son, we can figure out that something is going to happen just because he calls. She doesn't have to say anything about bad drivers and all that. Basically, in that moment we can stop watching the movie because that's exactly the moment where we find out the final, not in the actual end of the film. And there are quite many moments like that, unfortunately.

But all in all, it's a good drama, and I bet everyone with a heart cried at least a bit in the end, no matter how much he figured out before. And that's what this movie is all about, it's not a rule breaker but quite solid film which honestly follows rules of classical love drama.

I knew for ages that somehow I've missed all the interesting stuff last year. Espectially if we speak about movies. So I did my best to keep up with the things. Unfortunately, the first movie I got my hands on was Tammy. In fact, I love road movies. And Tammy technically has everything a good road movie has to have. But that's just technically. We start this journey with a leading lady who just lost her job and husband. Of course we do expect her to find a new job and a new man but also something else! Spoiler alert! She will find it all but we'll never see it! The thing I hated the most about this movie was actually last 3 minutes - Tammy just literally said that she is satisfied, she has all she ever wanted.. and that's it!

I feel terribly sorry for this movie, to be honest. Obviously authors wanted to do their best but probably the story is well too plain (let's put it like that at least) or there are too many clichés in it but in the end it just doesn't work. To me, a movie you truly hate is also a good one - because it brings out emotions. Bad ones but at least you react to it somehow. Tammy leaves you completely disappointed. You don't hate or love this movie, you just leave it behind.
