Austin Chronicle Kimberley Jones
There is, quite simply, a rather refreshing ordinariness to Remember Me in the unflashy, knuckle-down attention it gives to character development and the building of plausible and involving family and friend dynamics.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
A well-made movie. I cared about the characters. I felt for them. Liberate them from the plot's destiny, which is an anvil around their necks, and you might have something.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Amy Biancolli
Not a bad film. I'm going to stick my neck out and call it a good one - a small, dense chamber study of unhappy people looking for hope in the darkness, often literally.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt
The scenes between Pattinson and de Ravin exude genuine charm.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor Peter Rainer
Overwritten and overcooked, Remember Me still manages a few explosive sequences between Pattinson and Pierce Brosnan.
Read Full Review >USA Today Claudia Puig
Overall, it's a gently bittersweet and affecting portrait.
Read Full Review >Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez
Coulter wants to explore the act of mourning as a theme, and how death sometimes reminds us that every minute of life should be savored. On that level, Remember Me certainly succeeds.
Read Full Review >Boxoffice Magazine Pete Hammond
For those looking for the rare romantic youth drama without vampyric overtones or other gimmicks, Remember Me should satisfy and it works as a much-needed change of pace for the talented Pattinson who remains one of the most watchable of our young stars.
Read Full Review >Time Mary Pols
If I had a daughter of impressionable age, I'd rather have her weeping over this mildly tasteless romance than the nonsense of "Twilight."
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Jennie Punter
Remember Me could have been a decent family drama, especially considering its setting, but that was not to be. Too bad, because the romance is highly forgettable.
Read Full Review >ReelViews James Berardinelli
There's more contrived melodrama in these two hours than romance fans could reasonably hope for.
Read Full Review >Variety Todd McCarthy
The modestly scaled film delivers some moving and affecting moments amid a preponderance of scenes of frequently annoying people behaving badly.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips
The dialogue can drive you crazy with its self-consciousness.
Read Full Review >St. Louis Post-Dispatch Joe Williams
a horrific misstep in the branding of Robert Pattinson. The erstwhile teen vampire, who daringly portrayed gay surrealist Salvador Dalí in last year's "Little Ashes," lurches backward into a pile of romantic rubbish.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Betsy Sharkey
Pattinson could have the makings of a brilliant career, something more than the hot streak he's got going as the "it" guy of the moment. The same problems plague the film, which is beautifully shot but its emotional potential unrealized.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Scott Tobias
The major problem with Pattinson’s ascendancy to the Dean throne: His soulfulness is a pose, an effect achieved more by hair and makeup (and yes, genetics) than the scenes where he’s required to emote at high volume.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Michael O'Sullivan
In attitude, if not aptitude, Robert Pattinson in Remember Me comes across like a latter-day James Dean.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
As a shameless contraption of ridiculously sad things befalling attractive people, the engorged romantic tragedy Remember Me stands tall between those towering monuments to teen-oriented cinematic misery, Love Story and Twilight.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Andrea Gronvall
Allen Coulter (Hollywoodland) directed this morose and sluggish drama, which gets more mileage from Pattinson's anguished profile than from Will Fetters's thunderously overwritten screenplay.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Nick Pinkerton
There's an insult-to-injury quality to a plain bad movie with a "seize the day" message (Remember Me's tagline: "Live in the Moments"), which heckles you with all the other things you should or could be doing while you're marking time waiting on the credits.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Hoping for a little emotional manipulation with your popcorn? Look no further.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Manohla Dargis
It’s hard to know what the director Allen Coulter could have done to improve Will Fetters’s absurdly contrived, yakky script about love and loss, largely set in the summer of 2001. But Mr. Coulter doesn’t help matters by infusing the movie with grave self-importance.
Read Full Review >New York Post Kyle Smith
The dullness of this writing is more than matched by the dull look achieved by director Allen Coulter, who appears to have shot the film through a piece of yard-sale Tupperware.
Read Full Review >Orlando Sentinel Roger Moore
The film’s tone is all wrong, the pacing is dead and the veering between sex, sadness and sado-masochistic violence is enough to give you motion sickness. It’s a bad movie.
Read Full Review >Time Out New York Keith Uhlich
Bless you, R.Patz & Co., because this gloriously steaming pile is officially in the bad-movies-we-love pantheon.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Wesley Morris
The movie crassly repurposes tragedy to excuse its cliches.

Jen S gave it a5:
[***SPOILER***]Really REALLY depressing! it had like 3 deaths in it one from a suicide, one from a murder, and one from a 9/11/2001 death. SAD! it also had a crappy ending! The main character dies. also there is about like two fights a car fight! good but sad me and my friend were like up all night depressed and talking about sad events in the USA.
Kelsey gave it a7:
Remember Me far surpassed my expectations; the reviews have it wrong this time but of course their job is to make a profit and not necessarily publish the truth. Apparently a profit is equitable to patronizing "RPatz", and stating that he will only be an "it" with a career as long as Twilight continues. I digress. Remember Me was a bittersweet story, an ordinary setting with refreshing touches and therefore all the more likeable. I find that occasionally I tire of the stories that are unrealistic, however I enjoyed Remember Me for its plausible reality. Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Raven performed an excellent job, perfecting the occasional awkwardness that occurs between new and old couples overcoming trials, while at the same time the dynamic emotions that overwhelm individuals at the toughest times as they seek to overcome the tribulations they face. As for the ending; when does the ends ever arrive in a manner that we expect or comply with? Next time I will not pay heed to the reviews I read, and instead sit back to enjoy the ride.
Jess C gave it a10:
I had to watch Remember me because I wanted to see if it could live up to all the hype. I'm not a huge fan of R Patz, his acting in Twilight is very poor, in this film however I was creatly surprised, I loved the films realism. The cast were perfect and a few situations made me laugh out loud, the shocking ending had me in tears, i'd forgotten i'd heard there was a twist at the end so was shocked. I like the way they ended it with the other characters and how they had developed throughout the film. I didn't think it dragged at all, I wanted to see more of them. I liked his friend! Loved it. Watch it!
Lovisa L gave it a10:
This film was perfect. Especially the way Taylor and Ally interacted. A beautifully made movie from a wonderful script. And Rob looked perfect.
Deanna M gave it a9:
Moving story and natural, subtle dialog give this film an authentic feel that you can really connect with. The end is meant to wake us up from our complacency. It's a quiet celebration of life, complete with a reverence for loss.
lauren h gave it a9:
Okay, so most people will probably see it because Robert Pattinson is in it. But it is genuinely a good movie, the acting was amazing, by everyone, especially the girl who played Tyler's little sister. It wasn't a happy go lucky story, it was kind of sad, and really made you think about the destruction of the twin towers. It was an all round good movie, and in someplaces entertaining, and well acted.
Lynn gave it an8:
After the many lukewarm-to-bad reviews, I was surprised to find this a well-acted, very engaging movie.
