Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Purely Joyful Movie!
Just perfect...
The acting in this movie is really good.
Well...I watched this one night and it wasn't that bad. I like Desmond Harrington, after seeing him in that scary movie, "The Hole," with Keira Knightley. I liked the story line okay, but man...the character of Howard was SO ANNOYING. Geez....at some point, I kept thinking it would pop up he was on coke or something..non-stop chatter and PUSHY. But, he was just annoying...no drug excuse.Everyone was attractive, which is typical. Even the one who wasn't supposed to be was cute.The character of Ryan was annoying as well. Christian Kane played the part, but he was so needy and insecure. Made me want his wife to go back to Sam. Sheesh. Other than those things, the only other thing was this steel guitar music that popped up...reminded me of Brokeback Mountain. Which isn't a bad thing...just odd for a movie about a reunion of old college friends from New York. Yes, this takes place in Georgia, but still. Odd. Worth a late night viewing, not fantastic, not horrible. At least Barry Corbin is in it as Uncle Dennis. He is always great.
This movie is so bad that I made an IMDb account just to warn poor, romantic-comedy- seekers like myself. Do not watch this movie expecting anything fun, funny, or even remotely entertaining. The plot is so predictable my pet lizard wasn't even surprised by the conflicts or plot turns. The acting is stiff and muted, like one is watching cardboard cut outs of the actors slowly soak up rainwater and crumble in on themselves. The tortured jilted lover character talks like he has kidney stones causing him acute pain, but has recently taken and is already feeling the slowing and slurring effects of a very potent narcotic. There is no character development, and the references to 9/11 are tawdry, cheap ploys for emotion. This may well be the worst movie I've ever seen. I can never get that time back. I would have been better off spending my hour and change collecting roadkill to taxidermy. It certainly would have been more rewarding, and left me with less of a disgusted after taste. Long story short; skip this utter waste of time, space, and money.
This is a positively dreadful rehashing of the "Big Chill" motif. Some of the characters are positively uninteresting and rank downward into gratingly obnoxious. The few who do manage to attract my attention quickly repel me with their poor acting or horridly written dialogue. In keeping with the modern trend of trying to intertwine a multiplicity of different stories in order to avoid having to come up with a real plot is brought to new heights of dullness in this insipid production.Jeff Stephenson has directed some good works in the past, but with this one I think he must have been just as unenthusiastic as I am. Or possibly drunk. Looking through the cast of characters I see only one actor who turned out a good performance, veteran Barry Corbin of Northern Exposure fame. His depiction of colorful Uncle Dennis provides the only bright spots in this unfortunate hodgepodge of trite stereotypes.If you are a student of writing, directing or acting, study this movie as a splendid example of what not to do. Otherwise, don't waste your time.
The beginning shows several friends from the prestigious NYU before, during, and post their graduation during 2001 and the beginning credits. After that ends, it shows all of those friends, within other people during that friendship, or alone, after that graduation. Ashely and Daniel, two in the group are to be married in Georgia on Ashley's grandfather's plantation. The friends all rally around them and decide to go. The movie has multiple story lines all going on at once which is confusing but quite fun at the same time.Howard and Billy were best friends, and Billy is seriously dating Victoria. Victoria and Howard have history, and Billy actually basically "stole her away" from Howard in his eyes. Billy wants to marry Victoria, but he wants Howard's approval before proposing to her. The tension between them is bitter to the point where there is no talking between the two guys. Billy has a company he is seeking investors for, and you see him fumble for these investors during the entire weekend.Author Sarah, known as Doogs, is a sweet, Southern children's book author who is still a virgin and plans on saving herself for marriage. However, when running into classmate Joey, known as Fudge, she has second thoughts on her initial plan. The two go all around the little town around the plantation, and you see their relationship bloom.Sam, an old friend who fell of the grid for traveling, shows up to the wedding unexpectedly. Sam sees an old lover of sorts, Amy, and finds out that she is married to Ryan, a quiet guy that's very protective. Throughout, you see the two pick up, fall down, and see Ryan get involved.Cute, is the word I would use for this movie. It is just a nice rom. com. and I enjoyed it a lot. Totally recommend, and a great girls night movie, if put into a sub-category.
