Forever My Girl

It's a cute story! At times unpredictable and then again predictable. It's a clean film and not the average love story. Not the best love story but still a sweet one.

A 2018 romance which opens up w/Jessica Rothe all decked out for her big day, she's about to get married, but then horror of horrors she's left at the altar. Fast forward 8 years & the absentee groom, Alex Roe, is revealed to be a hugely popular country music star whose success is only matched by his insistence to get drunk & hook up w/a rando during his tour stops but one morning he hears one of his friends has passed in a car accident (one of his best men from his wedding). Roe decides to go back to his hometown to attend the funeral halfway knowing he'll eventually run into Rothe who now runs a flower shop & has a daughter, Abby Ryder Fortson (the daughter from the first 2 Ant-Man films). It comes out Fortson is indeed his daughter putting Coe in the unenviable position to be a father while trying to clean up his act & win back Rothe's heart but after a mishap w/Fortson nearly choking during a family cookout, Roe is shellshocked enough to leave town w/the audience wondering will he make a reappearance before the credits roll. Posited somewhere between a religious film (Coe's dad, John Benjamin Hickey, is the town's pastor) & a Nicholas Sparks knockoff, the film is amiably entertaining even though Coe is pretty much a closed book in his performance w/Rothe a welcome addition to the enterprise (along w/her turn in All My Life) running the show w/flinty determination. Look for singer Travis Tritt in a small role as, you guessed it, a singer at a bar.

Absolutely loved this movie. What else could one want? Oh yeah.....explosions, quasi top end special effects, over-layered animated scenes...Nope none of that. Just a great movie with good acting and character play about the lessons in life many of us have to learn the hard way. A touching heartfelt goodness of humanity through each of our tribulations. Well Done. This is the kind of movies Hollywood should be making more of.

This is a very good, romantic movie, with good acting, and a pleasantly predictable outcome. The country music score is first rate. Alex Roe does a really good job as the troubled lead. It's an example of why one shouldn't listen to professional critics.

I like it very much . Yeah , I know that we have seem the same story many times but come on guys , if you like this kind of movies(romantic) you will fall in love with movies like that.Very good acting , good plot ... yes, many cliche and at some parts I guess the lines , but I like it.I Just wanted a little bit more country things...Greek99
