10 ans déjà

Definitely worth seeing. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It doesn't delve too deep. Its a simple story about a high school reunion but it really nails it.

I kept seeing reviews and tweets from people along the lines of "everyone can relate to something in this movie." It is true. I teared up during a couple parts.

I will buy this movie and I highly recommend it. Its a perfect little movie about 1 night. The acting is great and you'll enjoy a lot of laughs and maybe even a few tears.

We can all relate to what you will see in this movie... in one way or another.

Before I watched this movie, I read some reviews and was on the fence about watching it as most of the reviews were not overly positive, average at best. Well boy are they all wrong IMO!' This movie was such an amazing movie about one night in the life of a bunch of people attending their 10 year high school reunion. Most of us can relate to a lot of the scenes in the movie which makes the movie that much better. I think it was really well written, well acted and offered everything you can ask for. I won't get into too much detail in what the movie is about, but I can tell you that as I began watching it, it did a really great job in slowly reeling me in and about a quarter of the way through, had me hooked to the end! Brilliant little flick and it had a great e ding I might add. Do yourself a favour, don't pay attention to the naysayers and give this movie a chance, you will enjoy it!

Director/writer Jamie Linden gives us a big ensemble cast on their 10 year high school reunion.

Jake (Channing Tatum) was the prom king. He is with his girlfriend Jess (Jenna Dewan-Tatum). But he encounters his old girlfriend Mary (Rosario Dawson) and they have issues to resolve.

Cully (Chris Pratt) was a douche bully. He is still only a few drinks away from the same douche even though he is a married to his cheerleader girlfriend Sam (Ari Graynor) and a father.

Marty (Justin Long) and A.J. (Max Minghella) are still trying to up one another, and they go head over heals for class hottie Anna (Lynn Collins).

Reeves (Oscar Isaac) was a band geek, but is now a star with a hit song. He finally has a chance with his crush, the class ghost Elise (Kate Mara).

Yeah, that's a lot of good actors and way too many characters. And that's not really all of them. Somebody needs to trim down the number of lead characters. The Big Chill had 8 leads, and that is probably the limit. This one had either 11 or 12 depending on how you count.

The stories are fairly standard. It's got that profound idealism that you'd expect. Everybody has something big to do. If they lose 1 storyline, the rest could be expanded and have a little air to breathe. It's still a good watch.

This film is about a group of high school classmates having a ten-year reunion party.

"10 Years" has a lot of recognisable actors, but none of these talents are put into good use. The characters are poorly introduced, we don't get to know who they were in the past and who they are now. The plethora of characters, with their plus ones make a huge number of people to follow, which adds to the complexity of the plot. The events that happen are dull and uninteresting, and I just don't care about what they do with rolls of toilet paper or how bad they sing in karaoke. They only pair of characters that is remotely interesting is the rock star and the girl in yellow shoes. They have chemistry together. In short, I found "10 Years" very dull and uninteresting.

This was my third time watching 10 Years and it's grown on me each time. I've seen the Big Chill and other movies this gets compared to a lot and this is a decent update on the concept for a newer generation.

Each actor/actress does a great job of playing adults filled with imposter syndrome and regret except for Tokyo dude who is 100% there to show how people can simply grow and change and be optimistic. He's kind of the anti-theme to the movie which I would is, "what would have happened if?"

These characters are constantly self reflecting and do a great job of this through facial expressions vs tons of unnatural dialogue. You can feel the nostalgia of smoking a joint in the car with your three best buds, you can feel the butterflies in your stomach when your old high school sweetheart unexpectedly walks into the scene, and you can 100% feel all of the tension that stills lingers within various relationships.

I honestly thought everyone nailed their part and didn't get distracted by all the stories. Reviewers seem to be mad at the lack of character arcs coming to completion but this whole thing takes place in like 12 hours realtime. It's also very clear that the point of the movie is a lot of people have a hard time growing up thus why there aren't a lot of "revelations" at the end of this.

It's got real dazed and confused vibes, you're along for the ride. This isn't some complex study of human behavior by Stanley Kubrik, it's a high school reunion film by a first time director.
