Not to Forget never lets the audience think it is going to be anything other than a deeply sentimental story. The plot revolves around a con artist who has to take care of his grandmother who is affected by Alzheimer's. Before long, he realizes he may have stumbled on the ultimate heist. It soon becomes a question of whether family values will overcome greed. This is not a plot that allows for much wiggle room. It is clear there is going to be a lot of metaphoric hand-wringing and melodrama. The good thing is Not to Forget tips its hand early on. Everyone going into this will know exactly what they are getting in to. The flip side is that the film runs the risk of becoming an overly emotional lecture if not done correctly.
