I would recommend this movie to anyone who want to remember the good ol' times because i think anyone who did go to highschool will find something from their high school years in it. I love Oscar Isaac so listening him singing was delightful and his chemistry with Kate was heartwarming. Also I watched it after Channing and Jenna got divorced and that was painful.
... View MoreA multi-star drama , the concept of reunions is quite common in Hollywood comedies but they tend to look foolish ( American Reunion ) , this one is very intelligent though . the chemistry among cast is convincing . very charming .
... View MoreA film about the interlacing stories of a group of friends leaving their adult responsibilities behind to relive their high school years for one night, giving them a chance to see their friends one last time - to reignite a spark they forgot they ever had, to find closure with past relationships, or to forget their adult lives for a night and just be free once again.There were only a select few scenes that really resonated with me in this film - they felt very real and very raw with a dash of sweetness; and they all happen to occur in the second half of the movie, which is by far the better half.But despite the unquestionable chemistry between the on-screen actors as well as the realistic awkward tension between some of them, the film overall fell short. It didn't quite deliver all that it set out to.That being said, it still manages to give the viewer a delightful bitter sweet ride of nostalgia even if it leaves them wanting a tad bit more by the end. 6/10
... View MoreI didn't expect much of this film. I was even taken aback a little that I enjoyed it.It's about a school re-union. Old partners meet, some people regret, some regress. Not a lot happens.The film captures aching passions and grim realisations. Even if the characters are a little bland. (But then there probably isn't the time to explore many in detail.)There is a great drunken portrayal and other awkward moments met by 'grown ups'. It is cringeworthy in places (only in as much as a re-union is likely to be), balanced out with a little love and understanding. It is both bitter-sweet and sweet and worth a watch.
