Retrouvailles

Look let's be honest, this movie is nothing special. It's at best an alright misery rip off and at worse a brundlefly of better movies. However, I honestly can't hate it. Like okay it's not my favourite movie by a long shot (though I'd be lying if I said I really like Jessica Stroup in anything.......except prom night and iron fist but more on those later) but it's at least acknowledging of how derivative it is. Mischa Barton is ridiculous but still kinda creepy, the boyfriend is pretty likeable if a bit too naive at times, there's some moments in it that make me genuinely flinch every time I see them (that ankle break is pretty brutal). So yeah, it's shameless in deriding from better movies but come on, you knew that going in. It's cliched, silly and at a few points just plain weird, but if you can switch your brain off for a bit, it's not bad.
