After an explosion at his oil rig, Dawson, played by James Marsden, was thrown into the cold ridged water and as he laid there for over four hours. While there he had a brief glimpse of the teenage girl he was once in love with. That first loves name was Amanda (Michelle Monaghan). She was at her home with her alcohol husband and teenage son. Then when sad news of their old friend Tuck (Gerald McRaney) passed away, Dawson and Amanda are reunited and assigned them to spread Tuck's ashes. Tuck also wanted them to figure out their problems with the past and ghosts they have yet to deal with.
This film was based off of the Nicholas Sparks book by the same name. I personally did not read the book, so I didn't know if the book was better than the movie or not. The movie to me was very moving, and also very heartwarming. The younger characters of Dawson Amanda, played by Luke Bracey and Liana Liberato were very spot on. They portrait the love that both versions of Dawson and Amanda had for each other.
Younger Dawson and older Dawson stayed the same. He was very innocent and had charm to him. While younger Amanda and older Amanda were very different. Younger Amanda is very bubbly and pretty, doesn't sit in the corner. Whereas older Amanda is more uptight and just settling for life. The part of Tuck, was absolutely incredible in my eyes. He took in this kid who had the worst childhood you could ever imagine and gave him a second chance and watched out for him.
The Best of Me to some people would be "just another Nicholas Sparks movie" but to me. It was a very heartwarming movie. With plenty of comedy and moments that won't leave a dry eye in the house.
