God, Sex & Apple Pie

Ive seen soft core porno's with better dialogue and acting than this movie. However the movie was somewhat entertaining and had a decent story. I liked the concept of old friends reuniting and each having their own issues. However, many of the actors were really bad, the film reminded me of a bad soap opera.

Oh my goodness, what a flop! The script was outdated, unoriginal and very very corny.

There was no plot, no rhyme, no reason, no charm to hold my interest or make me care about what happened at all. The actors tried, perhaps too hard, which made me uneasy and sympathetic to the challenge they were faced with. Perhaps I would enjoy seeing them in other roles if I could manage to divorce them from this movie!

If you saw The Big Chill, you will notice similarities in God, Sex and ApplePie. It was nowhere near the caliber and a very disappointing attempt to say the least.

I was very disappointed in this movie. First, the acting was horrible. I had to force myself to watch the movie for more than five minutes. I feel I have wasted 2 hours of my life that I can never get back. I contemplated writing a letter to the director to get my 3 dollars back. The plot and storyline were not bad, however, the atrocious acting ruined any hopes for success. I feel sorry for the cast. I feel sorry for the writer and the director. I feel sorry for anyone who has seen this movie. Save you money and your sanity by not ever renting this movie. Take a nap or eat a snack instead.

Also, I am confused as to how this film won any awards at the various Film Festivals listed on the cover. Where are these festivals held? I have a videotape of my neighbor taking out the garbage, and I think I have a good shot at the gold.

That this movie was derivative is the least of it's problems. It could be more aptly entitled: "Dear God, Non-erotic Sex, and No Pie for You Tonight." It's contrived, pretentious, and vapid. Not even the sex was sensual.

Writing 10 lines about this flick is a questionable expenditure of time, but here goes....if only to save you from renting it. The characterizations of the 30 something generation do it a great disservice. I know many 30 somethings, butI don't know people like this. I hope it's not just my luck. If I found myself at this party for the weekend I'd have to jump in my car and find the fastest way out. There is no comparison to the films from which this flick was derived. There are similarities in the structure of it to Big Chill, but that's where the comparison ends.

Acting was poor, writing was worse, music intolerable. Wait...one redeeming quality...the setting was lovely.

As I was watching this movie, I kept thinking of how David Spade would review it. I think he would say, "I liked this movie the first time I saw it...when it was called 'Return of the Secaucus 7'." I think he would then have said, "Oh yeah, I also liked this movie the 2nd time I saw it...when it was called 'The Big Chill'." Think of this movie like a copy of a copy of an original...sort of indistinct and hard to read. Add a little pretension and you have an ugly movie. 2/10.
