He's done it again. Nicholas Sparks has written a book that has turned into a heart wrenching, surefire movie hit. The Best of Me, starring James Marsden and Michelle Monaghan, is absolutely amazing.
Marsden and Monaghan play Amanda Collier and Dawson Cole, two former high school sweethearts who cross paths once again after a close friend of theirs passes away. Throughout the movie we see flashbacks of how their relationship came to be and how their love blossomed into something beautiful.

I must say. the casting for this movie was great. The two actors who played the younger versions of Dawson and Amanda really had similar features to Marsden and Monaghan.
Though I did not have the opportunity to finish the book before the movie came out, I can say that the movie followed most of what I have read so far. But, I will warn you now, bring two packs of tissues with you!
One thing I really liked about this film is that it had one twist after the next and the ending was absolutely touching. I will say this, I am going to finish the book, so expect to see another post comparing the two.
