Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
averagejoemoviecritic I have never seen a movie that was so hilariously specific to exacting a suicide attempt, as a way of saying what needed to be said to prevent it.It appears that thousands of people that eventually do commit suicide, didn't have such a strong clique of good friends to compel the depressed person to consider the upside of a tough life. Most people have been sheltered and babied so much, that they become such big babies when it comes to their personal needs and unrequited desires, that it's important to spell-out the good times and memories that placed them in such a negative situation. Psychology is stranger and deeper than most people could ever imagine, unless you've known that person for years and years. It's a great thing to show the importance of friendship and support, through-out our lives. This pseudo true story is money when it describes relationships past and future with this prose. ex: The character Jamie is asked, "Do you ever finds it's harder to give someone new everything you have, when you've already given someone else, everything you had?" DEEP...and true. I found this project to be beautifully shot and on the money with the acting and directing. What a subtle gem!
CarrieHarris I was under the assumption that Yanks had cornered the market on celluloid fluff. Have I ever so rarely caught a flick that expressed any type of reality beyond it's typical title. Unfortunately for those of us whose curiosities are captured by that all inclusive punchline, I leased this DVD. The writer slams you in face with his pensive ideals, just as he invokes his bosom buddies to accept the pain he can't climb over. Quite a task for a two hour flick. I was amused by the trysts, clever, however, the Director slash writer clogged the palate with personal ops. Overall, the show was straight and narrow yet searching for a more threatening ending. Not that suicide isn't dangerous, I truly felt, that a gun...or a speeding car at a cliff might of been more intense. The lead actors were true, as were the lead actresses. All in all, the flick was pseudo good.
naznico This cast of actors has got to be one a the sharpest lookers I've ever seen in a film. The shirley that plays the vampires has definitely got it going-on. The acting was very impressive, even though most the blokes are all probably ex-models. Certainly, the guy that played Robin Hood on the TV Series was a model. I thought the backdrop of the reunion was clever. The directing was ever so spot on. It appeared seamless, and all the subplots all melded fairly well. The ingredient I was more impressed with than all the others compared, was the writing. The script was SPOT-ON. One appreciates philosophy subtly integrated into film, without bashing your head in. It was obvious these actors knew each other before this film started shooting, like the article I read about it, that lead me to rent it. They worked well together. Impressive.
TC Shannon This story forces you to reflect and remember the friendships, that we've all had in our lives, that ultimately effected us forever. Those relationships that shaped our humanity and compassion. Those people, whose names and faces are etched in our hearts, 'til the day we die. And it seems as though, that reuniting with people that cared about us for who we were, and not what we had, can be the our truest barometer for life. It's all about the lessons we learned together, and the experiences we shared. The passions we developed, and the hopes we deployed. This story taps into the psyche, and forces you to examine the choices we've all made in our lives. No matter what the outcome. But, to know however, that if we should fail with our choices, that we would still be loved and held dear by those who truly are friends for life. American Friends & Lovers, is a refreshing point of view regarding friendship... humorously and painfully depicted in this piece.
