Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Bram De Mulder Summor of 8 was definitely not the best movie I've seen, but it was definitely not the worst! The music in this movie was incredible good. that's definitely a plus! The bad thing about this movie is that the whole movie is very long-lasting. The film is not going anywhere, it's about 8 friends who go on a holiday. Its their last vacation before going to college. Throughout the film they talk about themselves and tell stories. If you enjoy listing to stories about college and high school times than this is a movie for you! Going to the end it became way more romantic than it was in the beginning, there grows love between friends that was not yet there. The end of the film was definitely the best! just for that I would definitely like to watch this movie again. Eight equals infinity! (if you have watched till the end you will know why I say this.)All in all it was definitely a good movie!

normancaleb1 As the title of this review suggests I believe people are missing the point of this movie. Summer of 8 might be a bit cliché at times but I think it's fully aware of that. The movie isn't just about the sexual conquests of the guys and how they just want to get laid before college; It's more than that. Summer of 8 is much more a film about exploring the small amount of time you have as a teenager; the feeling of infinity that you inevitably have to face up to when you become an adult. I really enjoyed this film, it was something that made me realise that everyone is scared of growing up and moving on from old friends isn't uncommon. I may be considered nieve for writing this review being that I'm only 17 and I don't know anything about growing up yet. Sometimes I just think the reviews of these types of movies aren't based so much on how people see them critically but more that they aren't hugely different from one another. Reviewers compare so much to other films that they don't try to understand it from a different perspective. All of the actors in Summer of 8 seemed genuine enough, and the chemistry was there. I think to really enjoy these types of movies sometimes you have to search deeper than just the surface. Sometimes trying to think through the characters is how you see what is actually there. Maybe that's just to hard for some people.

Roj This film left me wondering why it was made. A group of privileged middle-class American kids spend their last day together before separating to go to college. There is little other story, the movie meanders on with a script like a wet lettuce. I kept watching, expecting a twist, a bombshell to drop or just something interesting to happen. Sorry to say that the thing just limps on to the end with uninteresting conversation between uninteresting characters who have no depth. There's not even any friction between the characters that might add to the story. There was bit of getting off with each other towards the end but all a bit lame and only helped to re-enforce the tweeness. I'm trying to find something positive to say about this movie but at the moment I'm just a bit too irritated at wasting 1½ hours of my time watching it. This may be for you if you are looking for an unchallenging film, where everyone is nice to each other, nothing nasty happens, there's a bit of slushy stuff and a happy ending. Perhaps middle-class Americans are able to relate to the characters and find hidden depths that just went straight over my head.

vicstevinson If this was about two or three out of the eight trying to reach a benchmark before college, that could have been feasible, but all eight? That's simply contrived.The film plays out like a feature-length Beach Boys ode to youth, but has an awareness of what's happening that people usually don't grasp until long after the time has passed.Shame, really, the cast is appealing and seems up to the task of a lighthearted last-day-before-college day at the beach, maybe some sexual intrigue, maybe a regret or two; but these are eight actors tasked with playing one role. This film could have been about them realizing just how divergent their personalities are, now that high school is behind them.
