Jake Nedd Biography & Facts
Forever My Girl is a 2018 American romantic drama film written and directed by Bethany Ashton Wolf based on the novel by Heidi McLaughlin. It follows a country musician (Alex Roe) who sets out to win over the girl he left at the altar eight years before (Jessica Rothe). Abby Ryder Fortson, Travis Tritt, and John Benjamin Hickey also star. The film was released in the United States on January 19, 2018. It received negative reviews from critics, who denounced the writing and chemistry between the actors, and compared it negatively to Nicholas Sparks films. However, audience reception was more positive, and the film was a modest box office success grossing $16 million on a $3.5 million budget. Plot In St. Augustine, Louisiana, Josie is left at the altar by her fiancé Liam who wants to pursue fame and fortune. Eight years later, he is a successful country singer. The morning after a concert in New Orleans, Liam wakes up to discover the girl he brought home jumping excitedly, unaware she is stepping on and breaking his cell phone. Panicked after realizing, he takes the phone to an electronics store where the manager fixes it for him. Afterwards, the manager asks why he still has the damaged phone, and Liam tells him it has a very important message on it. While watching TV, Liam learns that Mason, his best friend from childhood, has been killed in a car accident. He returns to St. Augustine to attend Mason's funeral. Although Liam attempts to be discreet, Josie recognizes him. After the burial, she approaches him and punches him in the stomach. Liam stays with his father, Pastor Brian, although his father is bitter that Liam didn’t keep in contact after becoming famous. While reacquainting himself with the town, he encounters Josie at the flower shop she owns. Liam learns that she has a seven-year old daughter, Billy, and that he is the father. Josie confesses that she found out she was pregnant two weeks after he left her at the altar. Although Josie tried to contact him, Liam never returned her call, so she decided to raise Billy alone. Liam is surprised to learn that his father also tried to tell him that Josie was pregnant at one of his concerts seven years ago. However, Liam was absorbed in his fame and didn’t listen to him. Liam eventually persuades Josie to let him spend time with Billy, albeit on Josie's terms. Billy quickly realizes Liam is her father, much to Josie's surprise, and supports her father’s idea. Liam and Billy bond as she displays musical ability. Josie agrees to let her stay the night with him. As Liam tucks her in, Billy asks him why he left her mom. He admits he was young and confused, but he regrets his decision. Josie and Brian overhear his confession. After Billy falls asleep, Josie asks Liam out saying she wants to have a date with "the Liam Page" as she'd never experienced his fame with him. He flies her to New Orleans for their date & when they are briefly questioned by the press asking who Josie is, he answers "She's the one". After returning to St. Augustine, Liam and Billy continue to bond. She chokes on her lunch but he doesn't realise, frozen after having a flashback to his mother’s death. Jake, Josie’s brother, saves Billy. Distraught that he was unaware, Liam gets drunk at a bar. Jake sets out to find and tell Liam that Josie and Billy would be better off without him. While bandaging a wound Liam sustained that evening, Brian reveals to him that when Liam’s mother died, he was so absorbed in his own grief that he overlooked his son’s and apologizes to him for it. Brian tells Liam that he thinks being famous and cutting contact with his father was a way for him to deal with the grief of his mother’s death, to which Liam agrees. Liam leaves the next morning without telling Josie and Billy, leaving a note telling Brian that they are better off without him. Liam returns to his tour and performs in London. However, his manager Sam inspires him to return to his family. At the airport, Liam responds to the message on the answering machine that Josie left for him 8 years earlier, in which she explains her feeling that losing his mother caused him to fear losing her, and in his worry left Josie. He returns to St. Augustine to reconcile with Josie. Liam and Josie get married, and Liam plays a song on stage with Billy. They sing both at her school talent show and on his tour in Berlin. Cast Alex Roe as Liam Lincoln Page Jessica Rothe as Josie Mollee Swan Abby Ryder Fortson as Billy Anne Swan Travis Tritt as Walt Peter Cambor as Sam, Liam's manager Gillian Vigman as Doris, a publicist Judith Hoag as Dr. Whitman Tyler Riggs as Jake Swan John Benjamin Hickey as Pastor Brian Page Production Development Author Heidi McLaughlin was inspired to write Forever My Girl after seeing a picture of a man on Facebook who looked like he was trying to apologize to a girl. To choose the name of Liam Page it took her a total of 10 or 15 minutes, and that same night she wrote the first 5,000 words. After her book was published, she received an offer from LD Entertainment for a film based on the book. On adapting the book for film, Roe said, "It was difficult to accommodate everything in an hour and a half obviously and there were also other changes that Bethany [Wolf] thought were important." Casting McLaughlin said that writing for Liam and Josie was easy because she has friends who are in bands. For the role of Liam, Roe had to learn to sing and play the guitar. Brett Boyett, the film's musical supervisor, helped him practice every day for almost three months. To research his accent Roe watched interviews of country music singers. He was nervous about acting on stage and talked to country group Little Big Town about performing in front of 50,000 people. Roe formed a band in Los Angeles and held several performances for close friends to practice. McLaughlin positively compared Roe to actor Stephen Amell, stating that, "Alex Roe looks like Amell but younger, so for me it's a perfect choice." Rothe said she was attracted to the role of Josie for her strength and female empowerment. McLaughlin originally pictured the Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr for the role, and remarked that Rothe resembled a blonde version of Kerr. Rothe and Roe did not know each other beforehand but had several friends in common, and hung out several times before filming in Atlanta to feel comfortable around each other. Reception Box office Forever My Girl opened on January 19, 2018, and grossed $4.7 million from 1,115 theaters in its opening weekend, finishing 10th. It held well in its second weekend, dropping just 12% to $3.7 million. The film went on to make a total of $16.4 million, against a production budget of $3.5 million. Critical response As of October 2021 on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 24% based on 54 reviews, with an average rating of 4.5/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Forever My Girl offers a suitably pi.... Discover the Jake Nedd popular books. Find the top 100 most popular Jake Nedd books.
