Rotten
The melodrama feels so hurried and half-baked that the end result isn't just disappointing. It's borderline infuriating.

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.
Adam Graham, Detroit News
Rotten
Interminably long, dragging out its molasses heart through what seem like three different endings.
