Surprisingly incoherent and boring

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Brilliant film I could watch this time and time again! Absolutely love it

I don't write reviews, but this film compelled me to write something about it.For me, a film should be realistic, heartfelt and not confusing wondering 'what was that' feeling. 'Remember me' was so close to realism. Though the first scene of the film showing Ally's mother being murdered was not necessary for the film - giving it a sort of crime scene movie - the rest was superb.This film falls under the genre of Drama, Romance, but I feel it has something more than that.All the leading character acting was very good. Though in reality a vibrant girl as Ally would not fall for a 'sleepy looking' guy as Tyler, their chemistry and acting was good. The emotions Tyler emits when angry, happy, and sad are realistic.The film depicts a story which can happen to anybody. That is why it is so realistic unlike some films you see.To tell you the truth, I did not understand the ending at first and thought 'what is this?, Did Tyler commit suicide by jumping? Why? Then after some reading only found out the real ending which made me shed tears. I played the video several times to the point where the teacher writes the date of disaster on blackboard and watched it again and again, and each time it was so emotional. I did not like Tyler's friend in the beginning, but at the end with him with Tyler's name tattoo on his arm was 'very moving'.A must watch film for anybody who loves a realistic one.

The only reason I am not giving this film a 1/10 is because the acting was so phenomenal and the movie was very good until the soul crushing ending. I love a good tragic romance, but this movie simply went too far. If you want to get your heart ripped right out of your chest, this is the movie for you. It left my heart aching and my mind spinning for days.From the description on Netflix, I knew I was in for a tearjerker. I can handle a little tragedy but only if it is well done. This movie is not well done at all. First of all, the two characters have already lived lives riddled with tragedy. I personally felt that the opening scene was completely unbelievable and very much avoidable. So the two main characters bring happiness to each other's otherwise tragic existences.I loved Tyler's relationship with his little sister, I thought those were among some of the best scenes in the movie. I felt that the premise was forced and ridiculous of Tyler "only approaching" Allie to get her cop father to drop the charges against him. That plot line was weak from the very beginning and only serves for them to get in a stupid fight about it later on.I personally realized that the current timeline was 2001 from the very beginning, I know that a lot of people missed that. In the opening scene it shows 1991 flash across the screen and then it says "ten years later" when the true action of the story starts. I still was under the impression that 9/11 had already happened though, thus adding to the tragic atmosphere of their existing lives. In their political science class the teacher mentions "recent terrorist attacks" which I assumed could be none other than 9/11.Robert Pattinson gives a breathtaking performance and the chemistry between him and the main lead is unquestionable. The only questionable thing is what on earth the director was thinking with his horrifically offensive twist ending. I started to see it coming when they mentioned it was Labor Day...Labor Day in 2001 is obviously before 9/11...so I assumed they were perhaps going to have her cop father killed in the attacks which would have been tragic because they were fighting the better half of the movie. But no...they chose to go an even darker route.It seems like a lot of people loved the twist ending, but I am definitely among those who are appalled and sickened by it. The fact that the director chose to withhold that Tyler's father was working in one of the towers all along is NOT poetic or moving, it is a deliberate trap to throw the viewer off. My issue is not that they incorporated 9/11 into this movie. But to USE 9/11 as your surprise/Sixth Sense twist ending is unforgivable. I would have been more OK with it if from the very beginning you knew that his father worked there. Then it would have just been a tragic story that happened to take place around 9/11.And not to mention how unbelievable this string of events is! So we are to believe that these two sets of families have really been struck with this much tragedy? Ally's mother is murdered right in front of her and then the love of her life dies in the 9/11 attacks??? And poor Caroline...her one brother kills himself and then her other brother dies in the 9/11 attacks? Come on!!! What did these poor families do to anger The Reaper??? Some people claimed that the take away from this movie is that happiness is still possible no matter how much tragedy hits you. I suppose I can see that point but I think it could have been better accomplished without reliving the worst moment in American history. And I think that point still comes across without Tyler dying a horrific, unfathomable death in the end.I am not sure what the take away from this movie is supposed to be but the only thing it made me wish was that I had picked a different movie on Netflix.

In 1991, Ally Craig and her mother are confronted by two teenage robbers in a deserted Brooklyn subway stop. Her mother is shot dead and she's left with only her police detective father Neil (Chris Cooper). Ten years later, Tyler Keats Hawkins (Robert Pattinson) is a self-destructive college kid. His friend Aidan Hall drags him out to party and they get into a fight. Neil is their arresting officer. Later, Aidan discovers Neil's daughter Ally (Emilie de Ravin) and he convinces Tyler to break her heart. Tyler hates his businessman father Charles (Pierce Brosnan) who is divorced from his mother Diane Hirsch (Lena Olin). His sister Caroline is a child artist but she gets picked on at school. The family is estranged after the oldest son's suicide.Pattinson is good as tortured soul leading man and Emilie de Ravin is a beautiful heroine. The two of them work great as a romantic team. I wanted to punch his best friend in the face every time he opens his really annoying mouth. The big concept in this movie is the shock reveal in the end. While there has been enough time past, it is still too awkward to have that incident used as a plot device. Maybe in another 50 years, this would be acceptable but it does feel wrong right now.
