Critics Consensus

Forever My Girl offers a suitably picturesque placeholder for romance fans between Nicholas Sparks films, but other viewers may end up crying for the wrong reasons.

There is more pleasure to be had in the dwindling returns of CMT's Nashville than in this country soap-opera.

1/4

It all feels a little bit off, as if every third scene was cut out randomly, and every camera angle came down to a fourth choice.

2.5/5

It's a Hallmark movie by way of Harlequin that features nice looking people falling back in love but it's the best non-Nicholas Sparks/Nicholas Sparks movie to come along in a while.

1.5/5

There's only so much that an audience can be expected to endure . . . and threading the needle with a piece of frayed denim just doesn't give the support that's needed.

This was a lot better than I anticipated. Not sure why the negative reviews? Sweet, wholesome, feel-good rom-com! Is it predictable? Sure. But this one I will definitely watch over and over again.

I love this movie! Such a feel good show. I watch it a couple times a year. Wholesome and sweet story about second chances, forgiveness and healing. The actors do a great job and have a lot of chemistry.

Forever My Girl is a heartfelt and emotionally resonant romance that deserves more attention than it received. Alex Roe delivers a sincere, grounded performance, capturing the weight of regret, loss, and the struggle for redemption. His character’s journey feels authentic, driven by accountability rather than grand gestures. Jessica Rothe is a standout, bringing warmth and depth that keeps the film from slipping into cliché. Her performance feels fresh and emotionally honest, and the chemistry between the leads makes their relationship believable and affecting. The screenplay is well-paced and restrained, allowing moments of grief, reflection, and healing to land naturally without becoming melodramatic. Strong direction keeps the focus on character and emotion, guiding the audience through love, loss, and second chances with sincerity. Forever My Girl is touching, enriching, and worth seeking out for fans of emotional romantic dramas.

It’s unbelievable how critics criticize really good movies that are wholesome. This movie was amazing. It would have done great at the theaters. Highly recommend ignoring the critcss on this one and trusting the users… Really really good romcom movie!
