I saw Remember Me over the weekend, and I thought it was… eh. Memberable alright, but probably not the way it’s intended.  It wasn’t great – by any stretch – but it wasn’t unwatchable either. I couldn’t, in clear conscience,  recommend you spend your hard earned money to see it in a theater.

I didn’t like Emilie de Ravin in that movie, I thought she was slightly annoying. The whole time she tried to cover her Australian accent, and failed miserably. Plus – she was playing a 19 year old girl, and at 29 years old – she didn’t pull it off. I didn’t feel any real chemistry between her and Robert Pattinson (but after Twilight, I may think that of anyone he costars with).

I thought Robert Pattinson did well…considering what he had to work with. There was a ton of brooding ala Edward Cullen, and I felt even the music at times played at the Twilight sound. I can see that there’s promise there – I just hope his next couple movies are chosen wisely, or he’s going to end up a one trick pony.

The ending of the movie is so stupid, it pretty much ruined the movie for me. I think had it ended differently, I would have thought better of it. The ending was just so contrived…they were trying toooooo hard. I think the point the film was trying to make would have been much more successful without the “oh c’mon, seriously!?” ending.

But anyway, that’s just my two cents. I know people who loved the movie.
