Reviewing “Remember Me”

And so the story goes and the magic continues to bind
The career of Robert Pattinson is of the staying kind,
If you thought he could not possibly be loved one iota more
That thought would amend quickly once you find what’s in store!

Without his vampirish pallor or legendary restraint,
The yummilicious human Tyler will tempt a living saint!
Predictably gorgeous and ever so gentle on the eye
He is a witty and humorous iconic New York guy;

One moment blue burdened, then sheer lightness of being;
A past tragic and hardened, a hopeful future slow unveiling;
A protective older brother who desperately misses his own,
Devotion to a little sister sees his reservations blown!

A loving responsive stepson who honors his mother’s choice,
But inscrutable father gives reason to bellow rebel voice,
Maintaining fidelity to his quirky and funny friend,
Till a lovely-come-lately helps him open up and mend…

Tyler-Ally is an awesome pair and couple made for celluloid heaven –
Her insouciant and sassy air complements to make all even,
While she’s full of street smart and shaping the world to her image;
He’s nursing grieving heart with determined and growing courage;

As they play in the shower all tantalizing and wet,
You know they belong as good as good could get,
The love scene in bed is tender and achingly sweet,
They seem perfectly matched and picture-frame complete…

Full of moments so resonant that you feel you’ve known them all;
Robert’s star power is confirmed – the medium at his beck and call;
Though Emilie, Pierce, Ruby and Chris all contribute their weights in gold;
Rob delivers on the luminosity that we have all foretold!

Dear Robert, we knew it in our bones, and we stuck to the belief,
That you prove yourself so fabulous is beyond smugness and relief!
With the sum of your grace, thespian skills, repertoire and capacity,
How can we help but your forever remember-ers be!
