From the moment I saw the previews, I thought about telling my mom. It was our type of movie. She would always ask for my recommendations because we had a thing where we loved to watch movies to make us cry. This one had that vibe where you just know it was going to be an instant classic, like a walk to Remember or titanic. Like those movies, I also watched Reminders of him over and over. I love to torture myself that way. My mom would have given it 4 stars but said it is ok. She would have talked shit about Kenna’s hair, how it’s so thin. Her hair was also thin. She really would have been upset with his parents and how they looked at her and judged her, and she would have completely understood why Kenna did what she did in court after the accident. Mama Kenna loved her baby so much, who she never even got to know for what, 5 years? And she loved those parents’ “baby” too. So much. And omg how dare “pretty boy” get in the way at the grocery store?! How is it that only pretty boys’ brother is the only one who understood? Man, that was a good movie. That was my mom’s and my type of movie. She would text me at the good parts. It used to be so exciting when she got to certain parts to see her reaction. She would always say she didn’t cry and that she almost did. I think she always did.
