We can’t expect every movie to be good, but there’s nothing worse than walking out of a theater downright angry. Overall, Remember Me is rather boring at some parts, but manages to squeeze in a few powerful moments making it very worthwhile.

Edward Cullen, (remember twilight??) - Robert Pattinson leads as Tyler, an NYU student who’s undecisive - about everything. He adores his young sister, Caroline (Ruby Jerins), but struggles with his father’s (Pierce Brosnan) negligence.

During one of his outbursts, a noble effort goes wrong and Tyler assaults a cop (Chris Cooper) earning him and his best pal, Aidan (Tate Ellington), a night in prison. When Aidan sees this cop dropping his daughter, Ally (Emilie de Ravin) off outside an NYU building, he sees it as an opportunity to seek some revenge. He dares Tyler to approach her and when he does, a harmless gag becomes a budding relationship.

Ally witnessed the fatal shooting of her mother when she was young. Ever since, her father blames himself for the incident. An alcohol induced mishap, which prevents Ally from phoning home to inform daddy that she’ll be spending the night out. When she returns home the next morning, he lashes out and she flees into Tyler’s arms.

The dialogue is natural, but predictable creating a desperation to get the show on the road. Remember Me does have its moments. The connection that’s far more memorable is that between Tyler and Caroline.

Not only are the scenes shared between Pattinson and Jerins the most effective instances, they lend Pattinson’s character a very necessary softness. His passion for his sister’s happiness transpires to his lack of ardor towards his father. Brosnan does stern and heartless quite well enhancing Pattinson’s more emotional outbursts. The two share a particularly compelling moment after Brosnan’s character backs out of Caroline’s art show.

You will love the story even more because of the ending. Some critics had mentioned that "anything Remember Me accomplishes is lost thanks to an insultingly inappropriate ending.....All this event’s insertion accomplishes is ruining the movie’s few achievements and leaving viewers in disgust." However, I beg to defer, this movie is a sure twister for all who watch it. I believe it’s an epic of the title remember me. This is a movie in which everyone can learn from and take something from it. Your mind will be touched and your heart will sink.

Sadly the story is not based on a true story. I had assumed otherwise. "Wasn't it based on the journal that Tyler Hawkins was writing?" No???!!! What a waste...
