Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The melodrama feels so hurried and half-baked that the end result isn't just disappointing. It's borderline infuriating.

rotten:
The sunlight is golden, the accent's rural (this one's set in Louisiana), people die, sagacious letters are read aloud.

For all of the eventfulness it jams into a (poorly edited) two-hour package, The Best Of Me ends up extracting the best of absolutely no one.

rotten:
As a drama, it fails, but the camp value is high, making it more fun than your average would-be weeper. It's silly, but at least it's not a slog.

rotten:
Interminably long, dragging out its molasses heart through what seem like three different endings.
