A Year from Now

Great idea. Poorly executed. No depth to any of the characters. Lack of any sufficient detail to make it interesting.

The main character isn't interesting. And there is nothing compelling in the story being told. I feel like I wasted 85 minutes of my life. That would be about 2 weeks, as far as this movie is concerned.

It's not terrible, but right off that tells you a lot.

It's an interesting idea, and in the right hands could perhaps have been a really great movie. However the script needed a lot of work. There was so little character development. For instance, in one of the early scenes, when the main character meets up with her sister, it's very awkward. Yet there is no explanation or backstory provided so that you understand what is going on between them. So you're left wondering why, and never given an answer.

In general, the plot is just too basic and too predictable.

The main problem however, is the bad acting.

I hate to say it so plainly, but that is without doubt the main problem with this film. Almost the entire cast feels like they pulled them out of their very first week of acting school. The older actors that play the parents are the only ones that are believable. As far as the main character goes, I really wonder how she got her role.

So all in all I truly can't recommend this movie.

Really loved the story and the theme of this movie. It reminds us of the importance of enjoying each moment with loved ones. I loved the East Texas setting. I just wish the acting would have been better.

I can only assume that everyone in this movie was closely related to whoever financed this debacle. To say the acting is bad is like saying Star Wars is a bit popular.

Avoid at all costs.

The idea is cute but it's just so bad. The dialog is bad, the acting is bad, the pacing is bad. It's so bad that I'm actually shocked that it's got a 5.1 rating.
