10 Years (2011) User Reviews

Not exactly reinventing the wheel, but worth watching.

[Applesnacks · 7/10 · 13 September 2011]

In his directorial debut "Ten Year", Jamie Linden (writer/producer of "We Are Marshall") introduces us to an extensive cast of characters as they make preparations to attend Howell Secondary School's Ten Year reunion. The film opens with a light and humorous air, as we meet the usual suspects in a film about life post-highschool: The grown up jock (Chris Pratt) who hopes to make amends for swirlies of the past; the nerd who broke out of his shell (Justin Long), made it big in the real world, and plans to conquer women who once spurned him; the rockstar (Oscar Isaac) who never really found happiness in fame; and of course, the one that got away (Rosario Dawson). There are a litany of supporting characters, most of whom contribute not only to making the film genuinely hilarious, but also support the bigger themes at play in a big way.

The film is largely predictable, and the characters all feel like they fit nicely into role's that have been hashed out in films of the past. A film like this lives or dies based on the strength of the script and the actors that bring it to the screen. Thankfully, the performances given by the substantial cast breathe life into the film, and for the most part we're laughing and crying right along with them.

Ultimately, despite being a little tired and predictable, Ten Year feels like a high-school reunion for the cast of a John Hughes movie. If you loved John Hughes' seminal high-school coming-of-age flicks, you should do well with Ten Year - a film aiming to remind us that coming-of-age continues well after graduation.

It might not be a genre defining film, but it is good

[estebangonzalez10 · 7/10 · 14 December 2012]

¨Now the party can start!¨

The film is about a 10 year High School reunion, and I know that the formula seems repeated and overdone but this film felt fresh and original. The cast is great and they all share a good amount of screen time. This film manages to deal with all the separate stories and characters much better than other high budget films tried to (Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve). I was interested in the different relationships between these characters and was hooked from the beginning. I thought Channing Tatum would be the lead character and that the story would focus around him, but it actually doesn't; everyone gets a decent amount of screen time. There is no side story here, all the stories are equally relevant and have sufficient time to find some sort of closure. 10 Years was written and directed by Jamie Linden and this was his first film as a director. He had written the screenplays for Dear John and We Are Marshall. Here he gets to work with Tatum once again, but my favorite performance from this movie came from Oscar Isaac, who I really liked in Drive. Drive was my favorite movie from 2011, and despite the fact that Ryan Gosling carried that movie; I thought Isaac was absolutely perfect in his role as well. The chemistry he shares here with Kate Mara is amazing, and the song he performs at the karaoke bar was one of the highlights of the movie. 10 Years is not a laugh out comedy, but it has it's funny moments. I felt like it worked best as a sort of melancholic romantic drama. The actors were all perfectly casted in my opinion and they each delivered. 10 Years was a lovely and entertaining film.

As I mentioned before the story revolves around a 10 year High School reunion. The first couple that's introduced in the story is Jake (Channing Tatum) and Jess (Jenna Dewan-Tatum) who have been dating over three years. Jess is going to accompany Jake to his High School reunion. Before going to the party they stop to meet up with Jake's High School buddies Cully (Chris Pratt) and Sam (Ari Graynor) who are happily married with two kids. Then they also reunite with Marty (Justin long) and AJ (Max Minghella), and with Scott (Scott Porter) and Suki (Eiko Nijo) who are visiting from Japan. The last one that meets up with them is Reeves (Oscar Isaac), the most successful person from his class who has become a rock celebrity. Together they arrive at the High school reunion and meet up with the rest of their classmates. Cully, who was the class bully, is trying to redeem himself from his past and is looking to make amends with all the nerds. Jake is surprised when he sees his ex-High School sweetheart, Mary (Rosario Dawson) arrive with her hubby Paul (Ron Livingston). Apparently Jake and Mary were pretty much a perfect couple during their teenage years. And then there's Elise (Kate Mara) who always played it low in High School, but who Reeves remembers all too well as the girl who got away. There are several other supporting characters who also contribute to the overall humor and heart of the film like Garrity (Brian Geraghty), the ¨whigger¨ and his wife Olivia (Aubrey Plaza) who had never heard of that side of Garrity.

There is no novelty or breakthrough in this film. The story has been told before and we've seen the characters in other movies. In a way 10 Years reminded me of an 80's John Hughes movie. The film really worked thanks to some great performances from the cast and an emotionally gripping script. I was really hooked with some of the stories and the way in which these characters interacted with each other. Despite the ten years that had gone by, these characters still remained the same deep down inside and some needed closure. I loved Isaac's character and his song. His story and the chemistry between him and Mara was pretty intense. Aubrey Plaza really didn't get much screen time, but I saw her as a leading lady in Safety Not Guaranteed and there is no doubt she is really talented. Tatum got to act beside his wife once again after first meeting her on the set of Step Up. There was really a lot of chemistry between so many of these characters and they all seemed like real life friends. This is an interesting directorial debut from Jamie Linden and I hope more people get to see this good movie.

Sweet and memorable reunion movie

[aldri-feb · 7/10 · 9 July 2013]

'10 Years' is all about reunion of high school class to celebrate their 10 years graduation from school. At first the film shows normally high school reunion should be and seems nothing special from it. It's like watching daily people do at their reunion party like telling how have changed they are, what they've earned in life and introducing their husband or wife to old friends. But the movie flows smoothly and definitely doesn't try to be dumb or ridiculous like 'American Reunion' did. They make audience interested to see it until the best part at climax of the movie. It ends with a sweet and wonderful way which makes this movie so special. Overall, '10 Years' is not just an ordinary drama movie about people's reunion. Inside it there is a compelling story and Jamie Linden as director just put the ending in the right place. Also the characters here have same portion and not focus in only one or two main problems. For me, '10 Years' is great and could be one of the most remarkable romantic comedy movie in recent memory.

Closely replicates the unintentional tension of a real reunion

[StevePulaski · 7/10 · 21 December 2012]

High school reunions can be equal parts helpful to ones current life position and poisonous all the same for one specific reason and that is it gives them or their new significant other insight as to who they were and what they did during their four years in school. Reunions can be a fond look back on the naive days of adolescence, when you're in that very awkward position where you're not a child or an adult, yet you hopefully begin to act like and conduct yourself as one. Or they could be places where the reminder you receive about your past is an extremely embarrassing one that could potentially corrupt current personal feelings or even have the one you married walking out on you.

Some of these issues are touched on in writer/director Jamie Linden's 10 Years, a sweet and tender examination of several characters attending their ten year high school reunion. Headlining the picture here is Channing Tatum, in a relaxed, comfortable role, playing a man who has grown up to be quite successful with a beautiful wife (Jenna Dewan-Tatum, Tatum's real life wife) who attends his reunion to meet with her husband's old friends. HHe quickly meets Rosario Dawson, a gorgeous, now married woman, who he has fond memories of in high school, and proceeds to talk to her for the night.

Justin Long assumes a more outgoing, rambunctious role than usual, but no one here has quite the persona as Chris Pratt's character, an obnoxious man, who now must spend the reunion making amends with those he shamelessly bullied to get a laugh in high school. Other smaller side characters include the now pop singer Oscar Isaac and the goofy, but frequently funny Anthony Mackie, providing us with a melting pot of different talents at hand here, all of which given their own time to shine.

10 Years functions in one of the strangest ways any film this year has. It fluctuates between dull and uninteresting to beautifully entertaining. It may be similar to a real high school reunion, where you occasionally meet people you really like and others you can't tolerate. At times, I was very invested in these characters because it appears Linden gave sensitive thought and development to these characters and how they've gone through life in their own unique ways, while at other times, I was restless and hoping for something more compelling and perhaps immersing.

The cast is unanimously capable here, as they all juggle roles they've never been fully exposed to. Tatum, Long, Dawson, and Mackie provide well nuanced performances here that are likely to go under the radar by those who walk into 10 Years hoping for something a little like the ribald and unapologetic American Reunion. Entering with that mindset will be fatal on your behalf. This picture is to be appreciated in a totally different, more sensitive light than an American Pie picture.

Starring: Channing Tatum, Justin Long, Kate Mara, Chris Pratt, Scott Porter, Brian Geraghty, Anthony Mackie, Rosario Dawson, Oscar Isaac, Lynn Collins, Max Minghella, Juliet Lopez, Aaron Yoo, and Kelly Noonan. Directed by: Jamie Linden.

Very dull and uninteresting

[Gordon-11 · 12 December 2012]

This film is about a group of high school classmates having a ten-year reunion party.

"10 Years" has a lot of recognisable actors, but none of these talents are put into good use. The characters are poorly introduced, we don't get to know who they were in the past and who they are now. The plethora of characters, with their plus ones make a huge number of people to follow, which adds to the complexity of the plot. The events that happen are dull and uninteresting, and I just don't care about what they do with rolls of toilet paper or how bad they sing in karaoke. They only pair of characters that is remotely interesting is the rock star and the girl in yellow shoes. They have chemistry together. In short, I found "10 Years" very dull and uninteresting.

American Reunion for Adults

[destroyerwod · 7/10 · 8 May 2013]

This movie seem to be not that known actually, which is something weird considering many actors are somewhat famous, Channing Tatum and Justin Long, Rosario Dawson, Ali Greynor. Maybe not A listers but still made a lot of stuff.

Now when i got this i expected exactly what the movie delivered... a drama with some comedic elements. My title of "American Reunion for Adults" dosen't imply you can't enjoy AR if you are an adult, but just to project that this movie is aim at a more "mature" audience and is the kind of movie you could watch with your parents, even at 28.

I liked the movie, the humour was fun enough, the story interesting enough and the characters likable. There was no real over the top stuff like American Pie, but still made me laugh a couple time while at the same time getting into the story.

I would say this movie is just very good for what it aim to. I am giving it a 7 because i didn't had as good of a time as some movies i rated 7 or 8, but i am SURE its mostly because i ain't much into drama usually. Yet that movie please me, so maybe i should give it a higher score, but i will go with my feelings.

I think this is a movie that is perfect to watch with your girlfriend, there is lot of emotions, its not too vulgar, its down to earth and the cast play there part perfectly. A good movie.

Good Actors, Too many Characters

[SnoopyStyle · 7/10 · 10 September 2013]

Director/writer Jamie Linden gives us a big ensemble cast on their 10 year high school reunion.

Jake (Channing Tatum) was the prom king. He is with his girlfriend Jess (Jenna Dewan-Tatum). But he encounters his old girlfriend Mary (Rosario Dawson) and they have issues to resolve.

Cully (Chris Pratt) was a douche bully. He is still only a few drinks away from the same douche even though he is a married to his cheerleader girlfriend Sam (Ari Graynor) and a father.

Marty (Justin Long) and A.J. (Max Minghella) are still trying to up one another, and they go head over heals for class hottie Anna (Lynn Collins).

Reeves (Oscar Isaac) was a band geek, but is now a star with a hit song. He finally has a chance with his crush, the class ghost Elise (Kate Mara).

Yeah, that's a lot of good actors and way too many characters. And that's not really all of them. Somebody needs to trim down the number of lead characters. The Big Chill had 8 leads, and that is probably the limit. This one had either 11 or 12 depending on how you count.

The stories are fairly standard. It's got that profound idealism that you'd expect. Everybody has something big to do. If they lose 1 storyline, the rest could be expanded and have a little air to breathe. It's still a good watch.

Like a documentary, but that's the problem

[zoerobe · 5/10 · 5 October 2012]

In "Grosse Point Blank," John Cusack, a hit-man, attends his high school reunion and to the strains of Queen's "Under Pressure," gazes at a classmate's infant. The child's mom tells him that when you're a teen, you think your life is over when you grow up and have a family, but really, "it's just beginning." Would that that kind of insight was more frequent in "Ten Years," in which representatives from all the typical cliques attend their high school reunion, for the reasons quoted in the tagline. Like real life reunions, there's a lot of intoxication, true confessions and mundane conversation. The one bright spot is Chris Pratt, who plays a former bully turned family man, determined to "apologize" to everyone he used to torment. (Sample attempt to do this: "Wow, you look all normal and (bleep).") Pratt throws himself into the role with an abandon I wished some of the other actors had.

"Ten Years," is oddly devoid of pop culture and historic event references that you might expect. This might mean it won't seem too dated eventually, but it also makes it bland. No one mentions the current economic recession (that I recall) or brings up the difficulty of finding/keeping a job, any job. While this might be a downer, it still seems a strange omission. The big secrets the characters are concealing are more generalized. It's like eavesdropping on a real life reunion, but with movies, I at least want more drama than I saw here.

So glad I didn't listen to most of the reviews!'

[rchoyle · 10/10 · 31 May 2013]

Before I watched this movie, I read some reviews and was on the fence about watching it as most of the reviews were not overly positive, average at best. Well boy are they all wrong IMO!' This movie was such an amazing movie about one night in the life of a bunch of people attending their 10 year high school reunion. Most of us can relate to a lot of the scenes in the movie which makes the movie that much better. I think it was really well written, well acted and offered everything you can ask for. I won't get into too much detail in what the movie is about, but I can tell you that as I began watching it, it did a really great job in slowly reeling me in and about a quarter of the way through, had me hooked to the end! Brilliant little flick and it had a great e ding I might add. Do yourself a favour, don't pay attention to the naysayers and give this movie a chance, you will enjoy it!

Realistic

[apenney87 · 6/10 · 21 February 2013]

This movie was fun but parts where very predictable. I enjoyed that the movie showed the lives of these characters without necessarily trying to "fix" them. Many movies have recently tried to have a happy ending for all involved and in life that's actually not the case. The actors where picked well for their roles. The downfall is the depth of the characters. While, I got the total picture, and during the scenes could feel the emotions for each person involved, such as the awkward scenes being convincingly awkward and the happy scenes genuinely making me happy. In the end I didn't care what happens next. I probably would not buy this movie, unless it was on a super sale and would only leave it on t.v. if nothing else was on....

Almost turned it off

[jet1959mo · 3/10 · 3 January 2013]

I'll make this short. It was boring. Though it was probably close to someone's actual 10 year reunion, I had come so close to stopping it half way through but, we suffered through to the end. There is nothing in this movie to laugh at. Most of this film was watching a group of plain uneventful people looking back on their past. Honestly , the only good part was the song Oscar Isaac belted out. For the life of me, all the actors seemed to be hashing out something they thought was real life. Maybe they should have asked Jamie Linden if this was his 10 year reunion. I know my reunions are not as lifeless as this movie was. I do have to say some of the characters portrayed in this film have some truth, Jamie Linden could have given this film a much needed kick in the ***. I am sure glad I didn't pay to see this and only rented the DVD but, after watching this I don't think it was worth that either. I do apologize for the negativity but, I think the top actors/actresses should have said no to their rolls.

A Gem

[Pinkdaisy678 · 9/10 · 21 December 2012]

Definitely worth seeing. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It doesn't delve too deep. Its a simple story about a high school reunion but it really nails it.

I kept seeing reviews and tweets from people along the lines of "everyone can relate to something in this movie." It is true. I teared up during a couple parts.

I will buy this movie and I highly recommend it. Its a perfect little movie about 1 night. The acting is great and you'll enjoy a lot of laughs and maybe even a few tears.

We can all relate to what you will see in this movie... in one way or another.

How can you criticize this

[RileyOnFilm · 7/10 · 3 March 2019]

Your basic buddies after high school film. It follows all the basic tropes we all love. My favorite character is played by Chris Pratt: the drunk in penny loafers who hogs the karaoke mic. Everybody out of high school knows these people, we never escape them. It was predictable but the writing wasn't too bad. It's a good com, not a rom com though.

On-Demand, free movie with the wife...

[primojustin · 5/10 · 29 April 2013]

Lack of background meets lack of character build up, which means you really don't care what happens to anyone; but, that doesn't stop them from trying. Justin Long makes another appearance where he is the same character he's been since the late 90's. Personally I really liked him in Dodgeball, his best acting job yet. With that said, there are some funny scenes, and overall it will keep the female audience entertained while the male audience will periodically check their phones and think of ways to make conversation during the movie. When there is nothing else on, and I mean nothing else...you won't be too disappointed. Final word; not bad for a HS reunion feel good movie that only made it to select theaters.

The Best I Never Had

[tieman64 · 27 December 2014]

Directed by Jamie Linden, "10 Years" finds a group of high-school buddies attending a high-school reunion. Once there, they confront regrets, disappointments, insecurities and wonder how their lives might have turned out had they not embarked upon various pursuits.

Like most "high school reunion" movies, "10 Years" oozes melancholy. Chris Pratt and Channing Tatum in particular are very good as a pair of alpha males whose large exteriors mask wounded hearts. The film's standout scene, though, belongs to a button-nosed Kate Mara. Sitting in a bar, blushing behind protective palms, Kate watches as Reeves (Oscar Isaac), an old classmate, sings a song. The song's famous and adored by women all over America – Reeve's has become a pop-star – but Kate's character, Elise, has never heard it.

What unfolds next has become "10 Years'" main claim to fame. As Reeves sings his song, appropriately named "The Best I Never Had", a moment of realisation washes over Elise; the song is about her! In an instant, hearts melt, mouths drop and undergarments moisten. The sequence's power, though, stems from the way it encapsulates the anxieties of Linder's entire cast. Reeves' song was designed for one woman in particular, yet hit its target ten years too late. And so if a man's imagined destiny can spend a lifetime out of reach, how does one go on living?

Upon hearing her own personal pop-song, a shell-shocked Elise rejects Reeves. Life has moved on and circumstances have changed. As the film closes, friends and ex-lovers shuffle off in the night, consoling themselves with the belief, the hope, that what turned out, somehow, maybe, nevertheless turned out for the best.

There aren't many good "high school reunion movies". Fare like "Grosse Point Blank", Vinterberg's "The Celebration", Ted Demme's "Beautiful Girls" and "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion" are perhaps the best. Reunion flicks by auteurs ("Peggy Sue Got Married", "Return of the Secaucus Seven", "The Big Chill"), in contrast, tend not to age well. Considering "10 Years" was Lind's debut, it's pretty good.

7.9/10 – Worth one viewing.

Its the little things

[sac0106 · 7/10 · 11 August 2018]

Its not littered with comedy but the comedy spots are timed right and the little gestures are the funniest. This film is littered with people who have ended up in superhero shows/films

There is some authenticity in terms of the actual reunion

[jordondave-28085 · 6/10 · 19 April 2023]

(2011) 10 Years DRAMA

Although, there aren't any actual cringing moments, I was still able to enjoy this film for what it is, since every reunion are generally different anyway. Also, had it not been that genuine moment near the end between Marty (Justin Long) , Becky (Juliet Lopez) and A. J. (Max Minghella), I wouldn't have felt this film wasn't worth watching had it not for that one scene. Written and directed by Jamie Linden, has a group of adults who haven't seen one another in about '10 years' or so , including Jake(Channing Tatum) who was also given credited as one of the producers, Cully (Chris Pratt), Elise(Kate Mara), and Mary(Rosario Dawson). Much of it's scenes appear to be a 'yuppie- like environment' portraying the characters to an upper class and sometimes polished, because of the photos and set up, making the amount of money spent to put this reunion together seemed unrealistic to most viewers as they're never this flamboyant. It does however, seem to depict a particular time when 'selfies' and I-phones weren't the thing, so it would resort to just plain ol' photographs. Part of the reason I'm unable to relate is because, (besides having zero interest into attending to a reunion) is whenever I see the word 'reunion', the first thing that comes to my mind are the peers I went to school with that have criminal records, and they're some I know who're immoral and unethical nor will ever change. These characters are so polished, viewers are left wondering whether they're really people. I don't know anyone that really acts like this in real life. Another interesting footnote is the fact that actor, Channing Tatum also "had" his actual wife, by the name of Jenna Dewan Tatum as Jess to star with him in this as well, playing his current girlfriend who's about to be proposed.

All Star Cast, Solid Movie

[liveforchristforever40 · 7/10 · 20 December 2023]

I don't get why people are hating. Glad I watched, all star cast full of a bunch of now superstars. Really enjoyed it. Yeah it's not some crazy well written movie but it was honestly really realistic. Fun watch. Tatum, Isaac, Dawson, Mara, Plaza, Mackie, Pratt, and Long are all very well known actors. Add in Scott Porter from Friday Night Lights, Max Minghella from the Internship, and Lynn Collins from Prince of Persia. Honestly can't believe I've never heard of this movie till I saw it on Amazon Prime. Definitely worth the watch. It's going to be leaving Prime so catch it ASAP. Otherwise it's worth a rent. I might own it one day.

Very Bad

[johnny-611-950169 · 2/10 · 17 February 2013]

This movie was surprisingly bad. I figured since it had Channing Tatum in the movie it would be pretty good at the least. How wrong I was! I think the funniest part of the movie was when his ex-girlfriend showed up at the reunion. When I say funny, it's because putting her in this part with Channing Tatum was like mixing oil and water. These two had no chemistry and for people to say that she is beautiful must be blind! She is okay looking but this is Hollywood people! I'm sure they could have found a gorgeous "nobody" to play that part and picked her up off the streets for $1000 or less. His wife (real wife) in the movie was far better looking! The producers of this film must have been stupid to even think this film would make money. I make more in one year than what this film grossed the entire time it was at the box office. I bet they lost a lot of money on this one! By the way I never leave reviews, but after watching this movie I could not resist!

Small but brilliant movie

[ninjalust-92254 · 10/10 · 10 October 2020]

I loved this small but brilliant gem of a movie and especially enjoyed the story of Elise and Reeves.

It's a romantic slice-of-life film so relatable I could watch it over and over again.

The script was brilliant and rings true, and the actors all seemed natural in their role, which I ascribe to an effective director.

Been awhile

[kosmasp · 7/10 · 23 March 2015]

You have to have a heart for this kind of movie to watch it. It's not for everyone for apparent reasons. This is a silly little romantic drama, that is very nostalgia driven. It might work for some and not for others, based on how much they'll be willing to get into the characters or maybe even have lived some of the situations.

Actors wise, you do get quite a few recognizable faces, that actually can pull off something like this. It's like with most reunions, some have moved on well, some are prancing, some are still the same, while pretending to have grown and so forth. While Mr. Guardians of the Galaxy might seem to have an unthankful role, he cherishes in it. And while I haven't read too much about the origin of the movie, Tatum producing it while also acting in it, might be an indicator that he was involved in some of the story decisions too. A decent effort overall

Not bad

[cgcgonzales · 5/10 · 10 March 2019]

This was a decent movie. Nothing too memorable. It was shot in my home city so that was cool, the only downfall of it was Chris Pratt's character. There's always those kind of people.

Nostalgia Filled Hidden Gem

[ThomasDrufke · 9/10 · 15 April 2018]

There are certain films that come along and you can tell you wouldn't see them in the same eyes if you had watched the film at a different time. 10 Years is one of those films. It's not that I can directly see myself in any one particular character, I've gotten to the point in my life where High School does seem like a lifetime ago, but I still remember a good chunk of it at the same time. 10 Years does a brilliant job of representing nostalgia without overbearing us with cheesy romances and outrageous comedy. It's just simply a nice blend of comedy, romance, and drama, with a tremendous cast who weren't really famous until a few years down the line. Sure, you have Rosario Dawson and Justin Long, who had been around the block in movies before. But then there's Channing Tatum, Jenna Dewan, Chris Pratt, Aubrey Plaza, Kate Mara, Oscar Isaac, and Anthony Mackie who hadn't quite hit a mainstream stride just yet. The best part is, they all look and feel like they could have been high school classmates. It's not easy to present chemistry for people who have known each other for more than a decade, but this cast managed to do just that pretty easily. And if there's ever a question of Mara's charisma compared to her sister's typically more acclaimed acting, 10 Years puts that to rest. Her and Oscar Isaac are magnetic together in this film. A great soundtrack, nostalgia filled script, and a genuinely acted film makes 10 Years a hidden gem, but not a film I will soon forget.

9.5/10

Hits you in your 30s

[tomwittigjr · 7/10 · 19 March 2021]

This was my third time watching 10 Years and it's grown on me each time. I've seen the Big Chill and other movies this gets compared to a lot and this is a decent update on the concept for a newer generation.

Each actor/actress does a great job of playing adults filled with imposter syndrome and regret except for Tokyo dude who is 100% there to show how people can simply grow and change and be optimistic. He's kind of the anti-theme to the movie which I would is, "what would have happened if?"

These characters are constantly self reflecting and do a great job of this through facial expressions vs tons of unnatural dialogue. You can feel the nostalgia of smoking a joint in the car with your three best buds, you can feel the butterflies in your stomach when your old high school sweetheart unexpectedly walks into the scene, and you can 100% feel all of the tension that stills lingers within various relationships.

I honestly thought everyone nailed their part and didn't get distracted by all the stories. Reviewers seem to be mad at the lack of character arcs coming to completion but this whole thing takes place in like 12 hours realtime. It's also very clear that the point of the movie is a lot of people have a hard time growing up thus why there aren't a lot of "revelations" at the end of this.

It's got real dazed and confused vibes, you're along for the ride. This isn't some complex study of human behavior by Stanley Kubrik, it's a high school reunion film by a first time director.

Waste of time and $1 from Redbox

[chefmbd · 1/10 · 5 January 2013]

Did you go to your 10-Year High School reunion? Well, this movie is about as exciting as actually going to a 10-year reunion. In fact, it feels like someone just followed people around at their reunion. To think that someone wrote a script for this and Hollywood actually wanted to make the movie is pretty funny. Reflecting on that thought is funnier than the actual movie. My husband and I rented this movie after reading several reviews by people on how funny it was. Being in the mood for a comedy, we both sat down ready to be entertained. About 45 minutes into the movie, I asked my husband, "Have you laughed yet?" After some reflection, "No," was the answer. There again, that realization was funnier than the movie. I truly cannot express how bad I felt this movie was. If you really need to watch a 10-year reunion movie, rent "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion." Save your $1 and your time.
