Back in the Day

Believe me when I say that I am not much of a reviewer. To be honest, I have never written a review about anything... EVER. Not even for my all- time favorite records. This may get a little long-winded, but bear with me, for the sake of entertainment given to you by the one and only Michael Rosenbaum!

Let me start off by saying that it might be just a little odd to see Michael Rosenbaum with a full head of hair, especially if you were just watching another Smallville episode today, where he is still tight with a certain superhuman trying to fit in with the rest of the crowd, Clark Kent.

While I was watching the movie, I got some sort of flashback. This movie reminded me of something.. Another movie. American Pie: the Reunion, to be precisely. But do not let this stop you from watching this movie. Just because this has been done before, doesn't mean it's automatically bad.

The jokes are great, sometimes even subtle but they're good enough to let you laugh out loud, like I did. I'm not going to tell you what was funny, because I don't need to be added to the blacklist of reviewers, especially since, like I first mentioned, this is my first review here on IMDb.

It may just be a little early to call this movie "my favorite movie from 2014", but it really is. I just know it. I have a soft spot for these kind of movies.

I must be boring you out now, but let me say that the movie is at least 100 times more fun than this review.

Despite the fact that something like this has already been done (think of American Pie: the Reunion, and Grown Ups) this movie is not a cliché movie, not at all. It's a great movie that you can watch with your friends. I'd say you could watch it with your parents, but do you really want to sit uncomfortable next to them when you see some nudity on the screen? (Don't worry, it's not a lot... but just enough to not look directly into your mother's eye for at least another 30 minutes.)

I seriously recommend this movie to anyone out there. If you haven't seen it already, go check it out right now and see for yourself, that this movie truly is a great, hilarious movie!

I had never heard of this movie until recently. I decided to watch it because it was shot in Newburgh and Evansville, Indiana which are located about 40 miles from where I live in Southern Illinois. Being familiar with the area was the main reason I wanted to watch this.

Jim lives a life in Hollywood. He decides to return to his hometown of Newburgh, Indiana for his twentieth class reunion at Castle High School. Jim gets to hangout with his childhood buddies and get reaquainted with the girl who got away. This movie was pretty funny. Most of the humor is pretty juvenile. What you expect from a film with Harland Williams and Nick Swardson? Again being familiar with Newburgh and Evansville probably made the film a bit more enjoyable to me since it was filmed "locally" and features Washington Square Mall and Green River Road of Evansville, Indiana.

I had reservations heading into this film considering it's low score and lack of user reviews. In fact the lack of user reviews is what prompted me decide to write this, so that people had an idea what they were in for.

Obviously this movie isn't a big budget Hollywood comedy, however, it is far better than any generic comedy thrown your way this year. The film is filled with unique and original jokes that feel completely realistic as well as simultaneously unexpected and outrageous. The film really has an air of familiarity about it, you can really connect with the characters and goofs (despite some of the obvious clichés such as the arch nemesis Principal).

This isn't meant to be an extensive review and honestly I haven't really done that. But I do want to convey to anyone sitting on the fence - about whether or not to watch this film - that it is a thoroughly entertaining flick. Sort of like a more original, mature and actually watchable version of American Pie: Reunion, just without all the toilet humour and pointless gimmicks.... So actually nothing like AP:R at all.

Trust me, you will enjoy this film, give it a go and have fun!

I saw the great reviews here and, while not expecting a lot, I decided to give this a chance (especially because I like Morena Baccarin). Unfortunately, she wasn't enough to save this film. Now I see that the glowing reviews were probably written by friends of the director. That's my only explanation for how a movie with a rating under 5 can have five of its six reviews give it 10 star ratings.

The movie wasn't horrible, but not very memorable either. It didn't have many laughs (I only chuckled a few times) and didn't really have much charm either. Instead it relied on cliché characters who, while really trying to be, just weren't very funny.

It's more of a commentary on wanting to recapture the good old days than a comedy.

If you want to see a funny movie about a high school reunion, I recommend American Reunion instead. That has more memorable characters, more charm and, more importantly, much more humour.

Michael Rosenbaum is from the town i grew up and he came back to make a movie here which sounded pretty cool until this was the movie that came out of it. Immature toilet comedy. Desperate in it's attempts for laughs.

The best thing to come out of it was it got a real life school principal fired because of a scene in the movie.

Apparently, in the movie the principal has a naked guy in the back of his car but doesn't know it. There's full frontal nudity and everything. Why a guy who works around children all day thought this would be an appropriate thing to do is hilariously dumb.

I guess he thought he might become famous for being "the guy who doesn't know theres a naked man in his car." But it was not to be.

I'm not a very good writer but I've always been ashamed of the movie and I recently learned about the principal story so I thought that was a nice rotten cherry on top.
