Robert Pattinson’s REMEMBER ME Gets Another Mixed Review
Robert Pattinson‘s Remember Me received another mixed review, this time from the Associated Press‘ Jake Coyle, who complains that "long before the big reveal ending, one begins to feel Remember Me is romanticizing — even fetishizing — tragedy. There’s a pretentious reveling in emotional scars and painful loss." On the positive side, Coyle remarks that the romantic drama should be commended for "its boldness. It may be affected, but Remember Me is at least aiming for an intriguing character study — a positive sign in the young career of Pattinson (who is also an executive producer)."
Like Will Fetters‘ screenplay, Pattinson himself also received mixed notices. "The young actor has an unmistakable screen presence. However[,] in Remember Me [] he pours it on thickly and self-consciously. … He quotes Gandhi in voiceover, makes love to Sigur Ros and (understandably) can’t be moved to laughter by American Pie 2. His deepness runneth over."
Coyle, however, offers unreserved praise for both director Allen Coulter and co-star Pierce Brosnan, the latter for once again proving "his character actor chops."

When these middle age white guys are reviewing RPatz new Movie you get the feeling they’re really reviewing Twilight. Just the way they’re written you can tell they’re on an attack binge to take Rob down a peg or two. They’re so transparent it’s laughable.
