trajan2448 What a pathetic piece of crap. A bunch of ill mannered, spoiled, infantile overgrown brats collected in a house the night before one of the couple's wedding. Nary a funny or intelligent line to be heard. The real culprit is the awful screenplay. I gave it a 2 because the girls were attractive and it was shot pretty well. Most of the males were repulsively written.If this is representative of contemporary American men I truly sympathize with women and it certainly provides a compelling reason why the Sapphic tribe has welcomed so many new members. WHiney, sullen, inconsiderate, spineless weasels seem to be the order of the day.
daworldismine i really had low expectations for this movie, expecialy as the DVD cover had it down as some American pie rip off, but this movie was actually a solid dramady that had a great story, great cast and great direction i liked it, it was a piece of entertainment and nothing more yet it hit all the right notes, the cast is great and fits the story well, the basic story is that a group of twenty somethings re unite for a wedding and quite a few things happen along the way, the movie is tastfully done and has its heart in the right place, while the movie is certainly no classic, it is definitely worth a watch and id definitely watch it again sometime.
brianbot5000 The bad: This movie was a lousy wreck, which better resembled a WB sitcom than something that should be on the big screen. 25 minutes into the movie I was still thinking, "who are these people??" - there seemed to be very little character setup or development. For the most part, the acting was poor -- again, it was more like watching "Dawson's Creek" than an actual movie. The story was extremely basic, which is fine except that the dialogue was poorly written as well. The subplot with the groom-to-be's father was not necessary and distracted from the good vibes to the movie -- it was hard to watch, but not in a "I'm moved" sort of way, but more in a "I want to barf" kind of way.The good: The movie pretty very short, so however bad it is, at least it's over quickly. Which was good because otherwise I don't think I would have made it all the way through. Also, some of the women in the movie were pretty good to look at, which makes getting through the film a little easier.Seriouly, I'm not a high-brow movie viewer...I like a fun, dumb movie every now and then. But this movie was a wreck in most every way possible. Watch it for a great lesson in poor character development, sappy dialogue, and character clichés (the movie star character who seems happy but is actually very sad...how original).
amyrebecc An amazing cast (impressive that the director got them all to do this low-budget film) Great job by first time director Matthew Cole Weiss. Funny, enjoyable to watch and identifiable. Think any recent college grad would relate. Colin Hanks as the agent, Jon Abrahams as the forlorn and lovable "Pockets Malone" and Ethan Embry as Donavan Parker, the originator of Power TIme were a riot. James Van Derbek looked great and did an excellent job as the actor "Simon Blake". The girls are all beautiful. Even the supporting cast is impressive, (Xander Berkley & Roger Avery). I enjoyed the soundtrack as well. Kudos to Weiss and the producers for this impressive little film.
