Summary: It's not "Casablanca" but "Since You've..." is pretty good
Review: A solid Directoral debut for David Schwimmer using primarily the Looking Glass Theatre Group from Chicago. The leads are mostly unknown which probably hurt this film in the eyes of starstruck MiraMax, but you get a great performance from Lara Flynn Boyle and Joey Slotnick.

Schwimmer's performance as the disingenuous former Class President, working his 10 year class reunion as a scam, is something to see. He and the other classmates represent what most people associate with the 1980's: self absorbtion; greed; and shallowness. Which starts wearing thin after a while. It'd been nice to bond with a few more of the characters.

The real bright spot is the music as Love Jones, the groundbreaking "Lounge" band performs the hits of the eighties with style and vigor. The Duran Duran medley is hysterical.

Joe Bob says check it out.

Summary: A Class Reunion with attending!
Review: David Schwimmer gives a tour-de-force as a first time director. The ensemble cast, featuring the lovely Teri Hatcher and the vivacious Lara Flynn Boyle, manage to encapsulate the very essence of the "brat pack" generation struggling to survive in the 90's. If you ever danced to "Gambler" or wondered which Izod looked better with your new Levi's denim jacket then this movie is for you!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I LOVED IT!!!
Review: First and foremost... Teri Hatcher rocks. The movie was funny and the cameo appearances were great. It would all be perfect if this movie wasn't so expensive.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: You deserve good things!
Review: Hilarious! This is a great high school reunion film with dark comedy. I thought David Schwimmer did a great job with it. I've shown this film to several friends, promising them they'd enjoy it. No one I know had heard of it, but everyone I've shown the film to enjoyed it. You have to pay attention throughout the film; there's laughs in alot of little details. If you don't, you'll miss them. I've shown it to several different people, so I've seen it several times~ but I never get tired of it.

If you like the type of humor in Drop Dead Gorgeous and Lucky Numbers, you'll enjoy this film. You won't be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny as Hell
Review: Really good movie. Everyone should see it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of my all-time favorite movies!
Review: The movie is very funny and the cast is excellent. Never a boring moment and the more you watch it, the more jokes you pick up on. I paid $80 for it, the best money I ever spent. I just wish there was a soundtrack. A must have for anyone that enjoys comedies!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very, very funny!
Review: This is the epitome of high school reunion films. If you ever wondered what yours could be like, you should watch this movie. There is a wide range of characters to follow, all doing different things with their lives, with different agendas and goals. David Schwimmer is actually very funny, and Lara Flynn Boyle's character is hilariously evil. I would definitely recommend watching this movie--there is great dialogue.

Summary: High School Reunion From Hell
Review: This may be the worst movie I've ever seen.

None of the characters, attending a 10-year high school reunion, are likeable in any way.

There is nothing--absolutely nothing--that is any any way amusing about this "comedy."

In fact, one of the plotlines involves a clearly psychotic girl threatening a baby's life. Other parts of it display blatant cruelty on the parts of the protagonists.

It would be interesting to know how this movie came to be made. How the script was written. What the producer and director had in mind. Such a study might provide a valuable resource for avoiding such unmitigated disasters in the future.
