Chicago Sun-Times
The Best of Me was a better film than I expected. Much of that is due to the performances delivered by Marsden, Monaghan, Liana Liberato and especially young Australian actor Luke Bracey as the younger version of Marsden’s character.

Like the artificially sweetened junk food it is, this all goes down pretty easily.

The Best Of Me is neither the best Sparks adaptation, nor the worst; it’s merely the most recent.
38
The Best of Me plays like the worst of Nicholas Sparks.
30
The bad news is that no matter how charming or fizzy the chemistry between the actors might be, they're still trapped in the dead, fake melodrama and brainless coincidences of a Nicholas Sparks story.
