Tyler and Ally are two 21-year-old New Yorkers and probably the unluckiest lovers in the world. Tyler's brother committed suicide, his 12-year-old sister is brutally bullied in school, and their father has no time for either of them. Ally's mother was shot in front of her eyes and her father is an alcoholic, overprotective, and occasionally abusive cop. This romantic drama offers so much misery that it becomes almost comical. However, the stupid and ill-judged ending, which feels like an outtake from another film, wiped away my smirk. Although Pattinson and de Ravin give good performances, there is very little chemistry between them.
