There is soppy
cinema and there is really really really soppy cinema. Michael Hoffman’s The Best of Me falls in the
latter category – and quite comfortably at that. Hoffman’s track record includes the George
Clooney RomCom called One Fine Day. He
now forays into mainstream romance with a writer who is without doubt the King
of Sop – Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook, Message in a Bottle).
