Me & You, Us, Forever

Having gone through a bittersweet divorce with my high school sweetheart, there are many issues worked through here.

It's not an exciting subject but it is identifying of issues that can be moved through.

Misnomer- The guy is NOT a stalker. He's misguided, which he admits later, but not a stalker.

Although his friends do try to alert & warn him, he has to find out for himself & his friends move through the whole process with him. At first I thought the acting was terrible but when I thought back to my divorce time period, there isn't a lot that's wonderful going on at that time & I thought they did a good job trying to portray the UNglorious ways one can feel at this time.

But there is also hope.

I avoided going to a divorce recovery group but I'm glad I did decide to go. It was helpful althogh not the most fun thing I ever did.

This is a worthwhile movie for those in a certain place & with certain issues that need to be moved through during a divorce.

I think it could be helpful for those who are not going through a divorce themselves, to help them gain more insight into what the divorced person is going through.

From everything I'd read about the movie, I was excited to support a film with a Christian theme. Everything about the movie was very unprofessionally done. Especially the writing! Without good writing a movie doesn't have a chance. The writer/director said in an interview that he didn't want to give away how the title relates to the story. Believe me, it was NO big surprise. I kept waiting for the teenage/young adult back-story to unfold, but it never did. As someone who has gone through a divorce, I was very disappointed. This movie would have been NO comfort to me when I first went through the emotional turmoil that divorce can bring to your life as a Christian!

I and my family have always loved the Christiano Brothers movies and they always seem to be biblically sound......except this one! There didn't seem to be much of a point to the entire movie and most of it had the divorced main character daydreaming about a former girlfriend (who was married I might add!). Overall I am super disappointed in this movie and highly DO NOT recommend that you watch it!

If you are looking for good movies to watch try some of their other movies (the secrets of Jonathan Sperry, Time Changer, a Amazing Love) honestly anything I've seen that they've produced is better than this movie.

In his mid/late 40s, with two teenage daughters and a decent work life complete with his own Magical Best Black Friend and Jesus Christ by his side, divorcée Dave suddenly finds himself regretting what he did when he was 19. Drugs? Rebellion? Promiscuity? Oh, no, Dave broke up with his high school sweetheart, a hot little cheerleader named Mary ("just like Jesus' mom!" I said).

In trying to piece his post-divorce life back together, Dave begins going to group therapy for other "victims" of divorce and meets early- 30s Carla, a bomb brunette who also has - you'll never believe this - a lingering flame for her high school sweetheart.

With the help of Carla, Magical Best Black Friend, and, of course, Jesus, can Dave regain his mojo? Can innocent teen love provide answers to complex middle adulthood?

Find out with Me & You, Us, Forever, the ungrammatical thriller that takes one man back to 1974 with production values that seem straight out of 1974 ("that's so pomo!" I said). With trite writing, pseudo- Christian pseudo-philosophy, and a nails-on-chalkboard awkward story, maybe you, too, can see how selfishness, emotional instability, and a warped view of teen relationships can appear like wholesome family entertainment when you splatter it with the love of Christ.

I gave this more than a 1 because I did think there were some moral lessons in this story and it provoked some thought and comment from my wife and I. The acting and the dialogue were mediocre and I must confess I came out feeling like I had been beaten over the head with the God this , God that and Christ is our saviour stuff. The movie and the story line did not need it. If , as I am , you are a recovering Catholic or Christian avoid this one it will make you nauseous. The movie did a good job of demonstrating the thin line between being a good citizen and how someone could become a potential stalker focused on what might have been.
