5 Years Apart

I know, I know. Some people may not get past the odd opening scenes or the "b" movie look of this at the beginning, but hang in there and you'll find a good story, some realistic dialogue, actually funny jokes, excellent character building and one of the funniest nude scenes. The parent's 1990s decor was spot on! And did I mention there are plenty of humorous golf scenarios, too. This little low budget film completely won me over and never went over the top, like so many raunch-coms do these days. I was routing for the brothers and the sisters the whole way. Small film definitely worth a watch.

Sammy (Michael Vlamis) brings Emma (Chloe Bennet) home from the bar and are having random hookup on the couch. They are interrupted by his brother Andrew (Scott Michael Foster) and her half-sister Olivia (Ally Maki) who are a married couple. They didn't know their connection before hooking up. It's the brothers' parents' house. They have the same upcoming birthday, 5 years apart. The two pairs of siblings have different outlooks.

I know three of these actors. Otherwise, this is not worth the time. It starts off well with a fun opening but it quickly grinds to a halt. These are not compelling characters or much of a rooting interest. They bicker and argue and I don't care. These are not real people. They are just one dimensional figures. It tries to be funny but it's not. I don't get the medics. Are they funny? This is nothing. I haven't seen this filmmaker's previous works and unlikely to see his future works.

Incredibly boring and contrived. Couple of funny lines, but not worth watching for those.

I actually enjoyed this movie a lot. I laughed out loud a few times on certain scenes. And also rolled my eyes at some- per every movie. The dynamic of siblings and the story I found funny. But it imo, between both sets of siblings was real. It's not easy. Felt a little campy a times, but definitely what older and younger of same sex siblings go through at time. Also having a few year apart in age. We are all dealing with different stuff internally and with different ages thoughts emotions and what we feel best for someone we love and care about trying to hope they "do up to their potential " but again it's not about our wishes for any of us. It's a movie about acceptance, and we still love them anyways. Plus their is sometimes no relationship like a sibling relationship. Again I enjoyed it. And worth the watch. 7/10. Quick watch and I did enjoy it.

She is the top actor here, the plot is little to none, the acting besides her own is inconsistent, waited so long for this wanna be movie.

Chloe deserves better.
