Not Since You

Plot? What plot? They meet in Georgia for a friend's wedding and you don't even meet that friend until almost the end of the movie. All of the characters are insufferable except for Sarah and Joey. There are a million other great rom coms from the 00's. If you watch this movie you'll waste an hour and a half of your life.

This movie is so underrated. I suspect other reviewers are just used to over-the-top characters and these are more like real life. You can't figure them all out in two seconds bc they aren't archetypes. boohoo! LOL! Instead they are clever, complicated, troubled, thoughtful and real. Shocker.

If you can handle it, give it a watch and enjoy the trials and joys of being human.

Most of the actors are about 10 years older in real life than their characters. This was boring. You can predict what the characters are going to say before they say it.

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.

This might be the worst movie I've ever seen. It tries so hard to be dramatic but it is horribly scripted and acted, and the pathetic attempts at establishing backstories and relationships failed miserably. I'm not even sure why these college friends who have drifted apart were brought to this contrived wedding, since they have nothing to do with the couple. Shockingly bad, and nothing actually happens, though several times they seem to think something has happened. I can only assume it was written by the types of people that start their own slow claps after telling a story with no point. It is hard to say who the worst character is, but I'm going to go with the colonel Sanders-based uncle who whips out a truly gag-worthy and cliche speech on love for the benefit of one of the eleven thousand main characters.

The soundtrack is the one redeeming thing - if you completely ignore that it makes zero sense in the context of the scenes the songs are tied to - then again, it would be hard to match a song to a scene where nothing is happening.
