I love to be on the edge of my seat while watching a movie -- figuratively speaking, of course. If the seat reclines, I'm reclining, but I do sometimes love a bit of suspense and uncertainty in a film. Other times, I like knowing what I'm getting myself into when the movie starts. In those cases, it's probably more about what the movie makes me feel than it is about wondering whether or not things are going to turn out ok. That brings us to Reminders of Him, a movie I hadn't planned to see until I saw the trailer.
Though I knew it was a book-to-screen adaptation, it wasn't one of the handful of Colleen Hoover books I'd read before, but the trailer caught my interest, plus I liked Maika Monroe in The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, and Lauren Graham is great in everything. I'd seen some negative chatter about the film (it currently holds a 56% Rotten score on RT), but I didn't let it affect my decision to see it. I'm glad, too, because I thought it was great (and considering Rotten Tomatoes' audience score for the movie is currently at 89%, I guess I'm not alone). What's throwing me off is that some of the criticism I've seen about the film is that it's "predictable." The more I think about that, the more I wonder why that's meant to be a bad thing for a movie like this.
