Rating: Poor.
Producer Denise Di Novi, makes her directorial debut with “Unforgettable” and the first line I´m going to start with is that I´ve seen much better movies than this one.
The movie tells the story of Julia Banks (Rosario Dawson) a blogger from San Francisco who moves to South California with her fiancée David (Geoff Stults).
Julia will meet David daughter Lily (Isabella Kai Rice) and David´s ex-girlfriend and mother Tessa Connover (Katherine Heigl).
Tessa cannot move on with her life after her break up with David and is determined to make Julia`s life a living hell and will try to win David back at all costs.
“Unforgettable” is one of the most ridiculous and stupid movies I have seen so far in this year. And when I mentioned before that I have seen better movies, what I mean is that this movie is clearly a rip off of “Fatal Attraction” which is far superior.
There is nothing to expect from this film since it´s written by Christina Hodson, who wrote last year´s “Shut In”, which I considered as one of the worst movie from 2016 and this was exactly the same thing.
The dialogue of the film is totally over the top and I never cared from any of the characters of the film.
The setup from the film doesn´t make any sense and the first scene should have never happened in the first place. All the backstory and how was her Rosario Dawson´s character´s life in San Francisco is totally useless.
She is a very talented actress and I don´t understand why she accepted to be in a movie like this.
Katherine Heigl´s performance as the villain of the film was empty and too overacted. I never bought it from the beginning. I understand it´s the first time we see her in this role but she didn´t deliver a good performance.
Denise Di Novi´s debut as a director was a very unfortunate one and she has been involved in movies like “Crazy, Stupid, Love”, “Edward Scissorhands”, “Batman Returns”, “Ed Wood” and many others as a producer but this film she made the wrong choices in directing her cast and I hope this is a big lesson for her in the future.
“Unforgettable” is the opposite of the title of the film: Forgettable, and is so far the worst movie from 2017 and please do not waste your time and money on watching this piece of trash.
