Changeland

This movie brought back some good memories of a few holiday trips I have been on. A sort of greatest hits version. I am assuming that was Seth Green´s intention. Some nice scenery, a bit of respect to Buddhist culture and a Macaulay Culkin that I did not recognize at first. A lot of the time I did feel like I was there which is clearly a complement to the director. For the people that complained that is was like watching a travel show, I am assuming that was intentional. The whole movie was "come and join us on holiday in paradise". How else would it have been filmed?

... I loved it! It has levels. Trust me.

A coming of age story for the over 30's

It's a character story. But, without needless over complicated extra cast. & It has a level of brutal honesty. Especially the visuals. Yes, the cinematography is excellent, I love the location choices. There's no over glamourising of Thailand. Especially the "buckets"

Sure, this movie isn't going to be buzzed about for years to come and isn't breaking some new ground- but I happened upon it when I needed it.

When Green's character asks "don't you miss your life" and McCaulkin answers "how can I be missing my life if I'm living it"- this film delivered a message I didn't know I was looking for. The story, path and characters were relatable to where I'm at/feeling currently and it delivered a message to slow down and enjoy what's right here.

If you need a movie where you can get lost with a cast dealing with their own lives, give this a try. There's some good humor and it doesn't try to be anything it's not. It was an easy, quick watch that left me feeling like I'm ready to get out there and live.

First, I want to say that I think most of the review are pretty harsh. I think alot of these reviewers hate Seth Green, so I think there is a great deal of bias. This is a small film and I'm a small film lover. This film has an amazing backdrop and a great cast. I think this is a odd movie in that it's probably one of the few buddy films made to connect with guys on a totally new level. This movie is about friendships and about deciding and fighting for what you want. This movie is not about drama or answers it's about not just letting life happen to you. I'm a male, if bonding and real friendship goes no further than getting drunk and talking about pu--y. Then this film is not for you, you will hate it. It reminded me of another small film of just life "The Great &the Small". I think this film showcases friendships. I think there is a small community of us who feel fortunate to have this in their life.

This is a story that tells a friend supporting another through hard times, in form of a wonderful holiday in Thailand. I like the plot because there's a tinge of melancholy amidst the beautiful landscape.
