I have never seen a movie that was so hilariously specific to exacting a suicide attempt, as a way of saying what needed to be said to prevent it.It appears that thousands of people that eventually do commit suicide, didn't have such a strong clique of good friends to compel the depressed person to consider the upside of a tough life. Most people have been sheltered and babied so much, that they become such big babies when it comes to their personal needs and unrequited desires, that it's important to spell-out the good times and memories that placed them in such a negative situation. Psychology is stranger and deeper than most people could ever imagine, unless you've known that person for years and years. It's a great thing to show the importance of friendship and support, through-out our lives. This pseudo true story is money when it describes relationships past and future with this prose. ex: The character Jamie is asked, "Do you ever finds it's harder to give someone new everything you have, when you've already given someone else, everything you had?" DEEP...and true. I found this project to be beautifully shot and on the money with the acting and directing. What a subtle gem!

A bit of bad news for those of us scads that have felt a twinge or a pang of anxiousness after deciding to carry on with a brand new affair. When ever it is, it is a bit of a breaker to beat the same path down to someone's heart. It seems a catch to bring about a doodle of flowers with an innocent grin once you have been gardening in knee deep love for another. Never would I claim to understand the texture of another's desire, yet, whence you catch that glimpse, you feel the past creeping upon your anguish. To love once is brilliant if you should die in that lovers bed. But, should you repeat the process of courting, kissing and bedding for love, more than twice as I have, it pains your soul. The memories remind you of the first love letter...the first sight of your lovers frame. Love then tends to become common an not such a grande finally to life, as we thought it once. Cheers to the Gent, for bleeding upon the page.

This cast of actors has got to be one a the sharpest lookers I've ever seen in a film. The shirley that plays the vampires has definitely got it going-on. The acting was very impressive, even though most the blokes are all probably ex-models. Certainly, the guy that played Robin Hood on the TV Series was a model. I thought the backdrop of the reunion was clever. The directing was ever so spot on. It appeared seamless, and all the subplots all melded fairly well. The ingredient I was more impressed with than all the others compared, was the writing. The script was SPOT-ON. One appreciates philosophy subtly integrated into film, without bashing your head in. It was obvious these actors knew each other before this film started shooting, like the article I read about it, that lead me to rent it. They worked well together. Impressive.

There's are less few movies make today, that touch me anymore like life touch me. I have a very tough expectation for stories and all the money that they make and all they are is special effects and big stars that just work on them for the money. When i get this movie at the video store, i get it because it was based on a true happening and I wanted to see what Americans do at their reunion partys. It start out with the past pictures and what they do and then the movie begins. I enjoyed it because it make me think of my friends growing up. I think it important to remember who make who you are today, and that is the main storyline. Never forget you friends. Love them. Love you families. Never forget anytime in you life, if you want to be a good person with a good heart. Ciao.
