In this movie, a bunch of people go to their 10 year high school reunion, and not much happens. Actually, nothing happens.
This movie meant well. It’s low-key and a bit gritty, and it did have some pretty good moments (when the musician sings his song, and the antics of the big douchebag who is trying to atone for his past tormenting of all the geeks in attendance.) But character development is virtually nonexistent, dialog is spotty at best (that’s being kind, actually,) and thematically it is very weak. You teater on the edge of boredom all the way through, but never quite tip over. Plus, for some reason everyone looks like they’re in their mid forties, rather than the 27-28 we would expect at a 10 year high school reunion.
I should add that it’s wonderful to see the marvelous Lynn Collins again, in a small role as the popular girl who has hit hard times. I still maintain that she should have been a major star, although this particular role does not give her much to work with.
It’s not an offensive movie, but there’s not too much to recommend here.
