Beautiful actress Morena Baccarin might have made some weird decisions during her life for all i know, and she couldn't have known what she said yes to when she said yes to do this film. She played the wife of Brody in Homeland, and did a great job. And then the next thing i see her in is THIS!! This awful film where absolutely nothing is funny!! There aren't just a few things her that makes this completely awful. First of all the storyline is painfully bad. The build-up just breaks down, and there are scenes with characters that we totally don't care about. It's like the director didn't have a long enough script so he throws in a sex-scene that is supposed to be funny, but the hair on the back of my neck stands up, but for all the wrong reasons... I am a person who have to finish a film, and i've stopped telling people not to see films because their bad. I actually want people to see the bad films, because doing so makes us really appreciate the good ones... People's comments are obviously written by friends of the director, Michael Rosenbaum. Okay actor from Smallville who suddenly think he's gonna do a Todd Phillips-movie. He couldn't have been more wrong, so do us all a favor, please stop!! Back to people's comments: There is no chance in h**l that people can enjoy this as much as they express in here. So yeah, friends of the director! But by all means... Knock yourself out - literally :)
... View MoreI saw the great reviews here and, while not expecting a lot, I decided to give this a chance (especially because I like Morena Baccarin). Unfortunately, she wasn't enough to save this film. Now I see that the glowing reviews were probably written by friends of the director. That's my only explanation for how a movie with a rating under 5 can have five of its six reviews give it 10 star ratings.The movie wasn't horrible, but not very memorable either. It didn't have many laughs (I only chuckled a few times) and didn't really have much charm either. Instead it relied on cliché characters who, while really trying to be, just weren't very funny.It's more of a commentary on wanting to recapture the good old days than a comedy.If you want to see a funny movie about a high school reunion, I recommend American Reunion instead. That has more memorable characters, more charm and, more importantly, much more humour.

The movie just seemed like it followed the lives of average people, the kind of people you were friends with in high school. Some of the situations were a little cheesy, but the movie ends differently than you would probably suspect. Michael Rosenbaum's character is an actor in L.A. who's having a difficult time finding work, so he goes home to get away from that for a while and go to his high school reunion. We meet his friends and his ex-girlfriend who he is still in love with. Good to watch a movie that doesn't give you the bs that everything will just work your way if you want it hard enough. Watch this film, you won't regret it.
... View MoreBelieve me when I say that I am not much of a reviewer. To be honest, I have never written a review about anything... EVER. Not even for my all- time favorite records. This may get a little long-winded, but bear with me, for the sake of entertainment given to you by the one and only Michael Rosenbaum! Let me start off by saying that it might be just a little odd to see Michael Rosenbaum with a full head of hair, especially if you were just watching another Smallville episode today, where he is still tight with a certain superhuman trying to fit in with the rest of the crowd, Clark Kent.While I was watching the movie, I got some sort of flashback. This movie reminded me of something.. Another movie. American Pie: the Reunion, to be precisely. But do not let this stop you from watching this movie. Just because this has been done before, doesn't mean it's automatically bad.The jokes are great, sometimes even subtle but they're good enough to let you laugh out loud, like I did. I'm not going to tell you what was funny, because I don't need to be added to the blacklist of reviewers, especially since, like I first mentioned, this is my first review here on IMDb.It may just be a little early to call this movie "my favorite movie from 2014", but it really is. I just know it. I have a soft spot for these kind of movies. I must be boring you out now, but let me say that the movie is at least 100 times more fun than this review.Despite the fact that something like this has already been done (think of American Pie: the Reunion, and Grown Ups) this movie is not a cliché movie, not at all. It's a great movie that you can watch with your friends. I'd say you could watch it with your parents, but do you really want to sit uncomfortable next to them when you see some nudity on the screen? (Don't worry, it's not a lot... but just enough to not look directly into your mother's eye for at least another 30 minutes.)I seriously recommend this movie to anyone out there. If you haven't seen it already, go check it out right now and see for yourself, that this movie truly is a great, hilarious movie!
