Goodbye to You

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.
