Summer of 8

They came to talk... 8 teenaged friends gather on the beach for one last party before going separate ways (college). Characters are two dimensional and the script won't draw any of them in a sympathetic light. Conversations and personal concerns, meant to be heartrending and deep, are kinda almost similar to what bright kids talk about, but don't take the extra step of being remotely interesting.

Nice premise. However, they look more like college seniors. Also, too deep talking for your typical high schooler. Plus, they listen to no music while hanging out. Great locales. The female cast did the better acting.

Luckily, someone else did when they said the film is like a (admittedly beautifully photographed and designed - although that really just adds to the artificiality) feature-length Beach Boys ode to youth, but it portrays an 'awareness' that real young people don't grasp until long after that time has passed." That pretty much sums it up. Reminded me of something I heard once: "Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth - oh, never mind . . . you won't appreciate the power and beauty of youth until yours is gone." And yes, these are late-20-somethings (one of whom was Miss Teen USA - you know, just like in your high school clique) playing 17 year-olds. But to be fair - they usually are. Nice try, but it's been done. Better.

"Eight close friends soak up their last day of summer together on the beach before parting ways for college."

This must be the longest day of the year because it seems like it will never end. Summer 8 it is like a porn movie without the action part.It's a long day at the beach that moves too slow. The sun is still high in the sky and you can't see the moment for it to end.

The script is too trashy, weak and obscene.

Nonetheless, i have to congratulate the cinematographer work making not only beautiful images but more important than that is appropriate images.

I'm a sucker for movies like this I'm not gonna lie. For me it was beautifully put together and I found myself smiling and laughing all throughout this movie. Beautiful scenery at the beach too
