I’m not good with reviews so I won’t even attempt to make one. A friend of mine who attended the screen­ing has agreed to write a review and share it with us. As soon as she’s done writ­ing one I will re-post it here for every­one to read. She and I pretty much agree and have the same feel­ing towards the movie. FYI there will be no sug­ar­coat­ing in this review. It will be based in real opin­ions and hon­est feel­ings about the movie.
Let me start off by say­ing that it was great and refresh­ing to see Rob play a char­ac­ter who isn’t a 107 year old vam­pire. Tyler is a very com­pli­cated and chal­leng­ing char­ac­ter and I think Rob did great por­tray­ing this char­ac­ter. We were able to wit­ness another side of his act­ing. I am excited for him and can’t wait to see evolve in his future projects.
Although, he still has a lot of improv­ing to do. He does this weird thing with his face (maybe it’s his act­ing man­ner­ism) where he looks like he’s con­sti­pated. Don’t you dare tell me that you don’t see it cos he does it a lot in Twi­light. If you dis­agree I will gladly point them out to you. I think this is what bugged me the most about his act­ing. He needs to loose this habit. His Amer­i­can accent was okay. It would change from time to time. I noticed that his British accent would slip a lit­tle and I could hear his Sal­vador Dali accent as well.
But let me tell you…Rob was beau­ti­ful in the movie. GODDAMN THE BOY WAS f*ckING HOT!
Now on to the good stuff (or the bad stuff)…
The movie over­all was okay. It wasn’t amaz­ing but it wasn’t bad. If you’ve read the script you’ll prob­a­bly hate the changes they made in the movie (Again, I’m going to leave the tech­ni­cal stuff for my friend to do). We were told that we were the first ones to screen Remem­ber Me and that the movie was still a work­ing progress. There will be changes made to the movie based on the opin­ions and reac­tions they receive at the screen­ings. I can only hope that in any future screen­ings for Remem­ber Me…they will find peo­ple who will be totally hon­est with their feel­ings towards the movie. There were only a few of us that were hon­est with our opin­ions dur­ing the dis­cus­sion group. This movie can improve if they are given the right feedback.
Now on to the impor­tant stuff…
The sex scenesYes, there were sex scenes in the movie. In fact, there were three.
The first sex scene was about 1–2 min­utes long. Most of it are close ups of them together hav­ing sex…naked…moaning…and groan­ing. We do see skin!!!
The sec­ond sex scene is what I’m assum­ing is the next day after they have sex (or it could be a cou­ple hours after the first sex ses­sion). They are both naked in bed lay­ing side by side. It was kind of weird and awk­ward as they both started gyrat­ing under the cover and started to make weird sex faces.
The last sex scene was hot! Although, dur­ing the dis­cus­sion group peo­ple felt that this scene was unnec­es­sary and con­fus­ing. The scene takes place after he comes back from storm­ing into his dads board meet­ing and con­fronts his dad for not show­ing up to Caroline’s art show. He comes back to his apart­ment (he and Ally had got­ten into an argu­ment before he con­fronts his dad) so they are both frus­trated and angry. He storms in and is an emo­tional wreck. Ally tries to com­fort him..which leads into hot, angry, frus­trat­ing sex. He’s push­ing her up against the wall and they have nice wall sex together.
Lit­tle tidbits:
Rob does not play the gui­tar in the movie. He does have a scene with a gui­tar on his lap but he doesn’t play it.
There are a lot of skin teas­ing in this movie. We see Rob shirt­less sev­eral times. And for those inter­ested yes Emile shows off some skin in the movie too.
Car­o­line and Aidan are my favorite char­ac­ters in the movie. They stole the movie! Car­o­line was cute as a but­ton and Aidan was f*ck­ing hilarious!
The end­ing of the movie was crap. I thought I would be bawl­ing by the end of the movie. This was not the case.
This movie is NOT a roman­tic drama. It is not a chick flick
