Reviews
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
studioAT David Schwimmer is a talented guy and by directing this TV movie he was clearly trying to show the world that he wasn't just Ross from 'Friends'.He certainly pulls in a good cast, with Teri Hatcher, Marisa Tomei and even a sadly brief cameo from the ever lovely Molly Ringwald, but this equally sadly doesn't make for a good film, and it remains a sluggish watch throughout.I do wish that Schwimmer would direct more films though.
markterrytexas If you have two hours to spare out of your precious life and you think Teri Hatcher is nice eye candy, watch this movie. I did. I won't again, she's hot but not that hot, I don't know if any woman is. This movie to me was created as a vehicle for David Schwimmer to build on his success from Friends. The characters are never developed, Schwimmers acting if you want to call it that is stiffer than the reaction just looking at Teri Hatcher has on me. It is formulaic, predictable and stereotypical. All the things I love in a movie. At least it was a made for TV movie so no one ever spent any money to see it. The only redeeming nuggets that I gleaned were the cameos. It was nice to see some good people trying to help bail out the sinking ship.
oliver-123 I taped this from TV, so didn't have to pay a penny to see it. I thought it worked as a series of scenes, held together really only by the fact that everyone was there for the reunion, and alternating scenes with the main characters with little vignettes focusing on minor ones and quirks of character. So it was a bit sit-com'ish: who cares? It wasn't intended to be some major drama. There were many amusing moments, and one couldn't help feeling pleased that the doctor reconciled with his wife, the woman desperate to find someone did meet up with the man who wanted to see her, the unemployed man got offered a job after almost inadvertently putting a lot of people in touch with each other and also began a relationship, that the singer got to sing his song (apparently taken over and turned into a hit for someone else by a music company that ripped him off) the way he wanted and was applauded for it, also that the obnoxious class president, who seemed to be using the whole reunion to get work for his family's businesses, got his. But not "heartwarming" all the way, no: the tricks of Lara Flynn Boyle's character were sometimes unpleasantly vicious, and the last was a discordant note in the otherwise fairly upbeat ending (though it could probably have been sorted out eventually). We were evidently meant to see her as an unpleasant practical joker from way back (references to class outings in which some disaster had happened), but never shown why. Romy and Michelle's High School reunion was better, yes - but this wasn't so bad.
eli_8 This movie was fantastic.The acting was terrific, from the high strung Electra Pollack (Laura Eason) to the arrogant Kevin MacEldowney (Phillip Rayburn Smith). Most of all, Grace Adler (Lara Flynn Boyle), the class psychotic.Not as terrible as most reunion flicks this is one to watch.8/10
