(2011) 10 Years
DRAMA
Although, there aren't any actual cringing moments, I was still able to enjoy this film for what it is, since every reunion are generally different anyway. Also, had it not been that genuine moment near the end between Marty (Justin Long) , Becky (Juliet Lopez) and A. J. (Max Minghella), I wouldn't have felt this film wasn't worth watching had it not for that one scene. Written and directed by Jamie Linden, has a group of adults who haven't seen one another in about '10 years' or so , including Jake(Channing Tatum) who was also given credited as one of the producers, Cully (Chris Pratt), Elise(Kate Mara), and Mary(Rosario Dawson). Much of it's scenes appear to be a 'yuppie- like environment' portraying the characters to an upper class and sometimes polished, because of the photos and set up, making the amount of money spent to put this reunion together seemed unrealistic to most viewers as they're never this flamboyant. It does however, seem to depict a particular time when 'selfies' and I-phones weren't the thing, so it would resort to just plain ol' photographs. Part of the reason I'm unable to relate is because, (besides having zero interest into attending to a reunion) is whenever I see the word 'reunion', the first thing that comes to my mind are the peers I went to school with that have criminal records, and they're some I know who're immoral and unethical nor will ever change. These characters are so polished, viewers are left wondering whether they're really people. I don't know anyone that really acts like this in real life. Another interesting footnote is the fact that actor, Channing Tatum also "had" his actual wife, by the name of Jenna Dewan Tatum as Jess to star with him in this as well, playing his current girlfriend who's about to be proposed.
