Not Since You

This movie is so bad that I made an IMDb account just to warn poor, romantic-comedy- seekers like myself. Do not watch this movie expecting anything fun, funny, or even remotely entertaining. The plot is so predictable my pet lizard wasn't even surprised by the conflicts or plot turns. The acting is stiff and muted, like one is watching cardboard cut outs of the actors slowly soak up rainwater and crumble in on themselves. The tortured jilted lover character talks like he has kidney stones causing him acute pain, but has recently taken and is already feeling the slowing and slurring effects of a very potent narcotic. There is no character development, and the references to 9/11 are tawdry, cheap ploys for emotion. This may well be the worst movie I've ever seen. I can never get that time back. I would have been better off spending my hour and change collecting roadkill to taxidermy. It certainly would have been more rewarding, and left me with less of a disgusted after taste. Long story short; skip this utter waste of time, space, and money.

A really great romantic independent with strong writing, great directing and really good performances. It's got a "Big Chill" style storyline with friends getting together after a few years for a big event (a marriage rather than a funeral). It takes place in Athens, Georgia and the location is great, perfect for a wedding but with lots of space for the characters to interact. The bride and groom barely appear in the film as it's not about the culmination of a romance but rather past friends coming together and dealing with their lives and romances since they were last all together. Will past lovers reunite, will former best friends continue to let a girl come between them, will a young man come to terms with his dark secret and rediscover life outside of the bottle? Hey, it's a movie so it's got lots of big emotions but it always feels grounded and real even during the moments of comedy. Proof that little can-do independents can outclass, and provide a much better film than the big studio Rom-Coms we're getting these days. A good story told with warmth, humor and above all...romance.

This might be the worst movie I've ever seen. It tries so hard to be dramatic but it is horribly scripted and acted, and the pathetic attempts at establishing backstories and relationships failed miserably. I'm not even sure why these college friends who have drifted apart were brought to this contrived wedding, since they have nothing to do with the couple. Shockingly bad, and nothing actually happens, though several times they seem to think something has happened. I can only assume it was written by the types of people that start their own slow claps after telling a story with no point. It is hard to say who the worst character is, but I'm going to go with the colonel Sanders-based uncle who whips out a truly gag-worthy and cliche speech on love for the benefit of one of the eleven thousand main characters.

The soundtrack is the one redeeming thing - if you completely ignore that it makes zero sense in the context of the scenes the songs are tied to - then again, it would be hard to match a song to a scene where nothing is happening.

How often do white peoples go sit by the creek alone? Poorly written opportunities to talk, not great acting, & very little chemistry.

Most of the actors are about 10 years older in real life than their characters. This was boring. You can predict what the characters are going to say before they say it.
