The Best of Me

The Best of Me (2014) is a romantic drama you can watch online on iFILM, adapted from the Nicholas Sparks novel. Dawson and Amanda were inseparable in high school. Then more than twenty years pulled them apart.

What brings them back is a death. Tuck, the old man who once took a teenage Dawson in and became the father he never had, has passed away, and both return to their small Louisiana hometown for the funeral. Amanda (Michelle Monaghan) now has a husband and a family; Dawson (James Marsden) has a quiet, solitary life and an old wound that never healed. Flashbacks fill in their younger selves, played by Luke Bracey and Liana Liberato, and the tragedy that once tore the young lovers apart.

Directed by Michael Hoffman, the film weighs the past against the present, guilt against a second chance. It's built for anyone who loves a good cry over a Sparks story like The Notebook. Stream The Best of Me (2014) online on iFILM.
