Goodbye to You (2001)
Not the best debut, but not the worst
Goodbye To You is David Dellecese's writing and directing debut...and it DOES show. The movie sometimes plays out like a soap opera that's run a little too long, and other times like a series of scenes or skits more than a movie. Still, it's not horrible. Some of the characters are rather lovable and humorous...others make you want to yell at the screen. The plot could have used something a little more than the "she breaks up with him again, gets back together, break up again...", but it can be argued that this is how real life is. A lot of potential is seen by both the cast AND the crew. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot going on in this story aside from conversations to allow that to blossom. You can tell they're all finding they're footing, but that with a little honing of their craft, they can certainly become a force to be reckoned with in the film community. So, the bottom line? If you're looking for a deep plot that you can think about for days on end, and lots of action to keep your eyes popping, this isn't your movie. BUT, if you want to see a REAL view of the roller coaster and over exaggerations of teen relationships, and a few laughs, then give it a try. You might be able to relate.
