Dear Robert Pattinson fans: Allen Coulter’s “Remember Me” will probably disappoint you. The film is kind of a love story, yes, and Robert Pattinson is as delicious as ever. However, this film is mostly just brooding and grim, threaded with tension but marred by pretension. Ultimately, the poignant scenes scattered throughout cannot salvage the film’s disjointed nature and inconsistent pacing...
...Remember Me,” two separate, ultimately intertwining familial threads dominate the story. Fast-forward ten years from the jarring opening sequence of her mother’s murder and Ally Craig (Emilie de Ravin) is a student at NYU, alongside the quintessential antihero, Tyler Hawkins played by Pattinson himself. He rebels against an aloof father (Pierce Brosnan) by living wholly without purpose, all the while fiercely protective of his sister Caroline (Ruby Jerins), which may or may not be due to their older brother’s suicide. One night, Tyler and his roommate Aidan (Tate Ellington) implicate...
...Pattinson plays a character not too different from the “Twilight” series’ Edward Cullen and shares the same trademarks—the bilious stare and the tossing of unkempt brunette locks. Though the vehement temper tantrums that Tyler throws might be out of character for Edward, the two share a dark, cool demeanor. Tyler is not immensely charming or sympathetic, and Pattinson’s acting is ultimately neither commendable nor totally deplorable. “Twilight” fans, though, will probably squeal with delight (or tremble with envy?) at Pattinson?...

Pattinson's Twilight inamorata, Kristen Stewart, is playing Joan Jett in the musical biopic The Runaways, which opened in limited release to a so-so $803,000 on 244 screens. (It's really a supporting role to Dakota Fanning's Cherie Currie.) So far, Pattinson is finding it hard to attract fans when he's not in his giant fantasy-film franchise; in Star Wars...
...awful range. She's Out of Your League, a no-star, R-rated comedy about a schlub who unaccountably attracts the interest of a hottie, secured third place with $9.6 million. Just behind that, at $8.3 million, was the love story Remember Me, starring vampire swoon king Robert Pattinson; not nearly enough Twilight fans booked tickets on the young male dreamboat. The interracial Our Family Wedding, with America Ferrara and Forest Whitaker, earned $7.6 million to finish sixth (after the holdover Shutter Island). So the four brand-new movies took in only about $40 million. It's the first weekend...
