goodbyes to a barely conscious Tessa followed by another daydream of a healthy Tessa and Adam together on the ocean cliffs, which is followed by Tessa lying peacefully with Adam (presumably peacefully dying in Adam's arms) and one final daydream of Tessa meeting Zoey's baby with the final monologue that "life is a series of moments. Let them go. Moments all gathering toward this one" with a healthy smiling Tessa holding Zoey's new born baby girl. Cast Dakota Fanning as Tessa Scott Jeremy Irvine as Adam Paddy Considine as Tessa's father Olivia Williams as Tessa's mother Edgar Canham as Cal Scott, Tessa's brother Kaya Scodelario as Zoey Walker, Tessa's friend Rose Leslie as Fiona Joe Cole as Scott Sarah Hadland as Caroline Patrick Baladi as Richard Franz Drameh as Tommy Susan Brown as Shirley Rakie Ayola as Phillipa Julia Ford as Sally Tom Kane as Paul Isabella Laughland as Beth Josef Altin as Jake Morgan Watkins as Nurse Reception Now Is Good received mixed reviews from critics when it was released in September 2012. The Guardian awarded it two out of five stars and said that it "never really rises above being a collection of clichés, despite some decent performances". Empire Magazine awarded it three out of five stars and called it an "uneven but ultimately effective weepie with terrific turns from Considine and Williams, who outshine the younger cast." The Birmingham Mail said "If you're a fan of Nicholas Sparks' films – or fancy a good old weep in the cinema – then you could do worse than see this movie." Total Film awarded it three out of five stars and said "You'll be in bits, but your critical faculties might weep too." Norwich Evening News said "The film avoids all the sentimentality and gives you moments that seem uncomfortably realistic but it doesn't lose sight of the fact, while that it is a weepie, it is still an entertainment." Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a score of 58% based on reviews from 26 critics.
