Paul Walker was initially cast in the lead role but after his sudden death from a car accident on November 30, 2013, the role was given to James Marsden. Additionally, both actors were born in September 1973 (along with rapper Nas) but were only in six days apart from each other. Nas was born in two days after Walker and was born in four days before Marsden.,Dawson's eyes change color from brown to blue through the years.,Amanda: You want me to fall back in love with you?

"The Best of Me" (2014) is a romantic drama from the mind of Nicolas Sparks, the man who created "Notebook" and many more romantic flicks. This flick isn't original, special or great - it looks nice, cinematography is good, but it's very predictable, cheesy and shallow. Acing was OK but nothing special, and thats not a good sign as this kind of movie must have great chemistry between actors, and there was no chemistry between the young versions of main characters. And by the way, Luke Bracey and James Marsden has got absolutely no physical resemblance - and they are playing the same character and i think that both ladies are also doesn't look similar at all - and they have no chemistry - it's just bad casting.

Overall, "The Best of Me" isn't bad movie, it's just that it's highly familiar, predictable and sometimes manipulative. I could easily bashed this movie and find "100 clichés" but i'm giving it 7 because at running time of almost 2 hours i wasn't bored.,
