Summary: High School'd in Chicago? See this movie!
Review: This movie is not academy material, but if you grew up in the Chicago area, and have been or are about to go to your 10 year reunion, give it a look. There were 2 lines that slammed my hometown, but it made me laugh all the more. I think it would have been a riot to film. For those who don't take themselves too seriously only!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: DDowns Rocks Da House!
Review: This movie is pretty funny. There are some cute little gags, but the best part of the whole movie is definitely the hotel front desk clerk, who is played by David Downs. He's hilarious! He has a lot of great facial expressions, and even though he doesn't have any lines, you know that there's a lot going on with him. He has Treplev eyes, for sure. He's one actor I'll definitely keep my eye on in the future!

Summary: This Movie is Hilarious!
Review: This movie is so funny! It starts out a little slow, but give it a chance! Its about a 10 year high shool reunion, and its a little bit like a soap opera, with lots of different stories going on at the same time. Lara Flynn Boyle totally steals the show as the class prankster, I wish I could be her! The movie has all the "stock" reunion characters, like the 'nobody' turned big time , the rebel and the perky girl in charge of everything. It's also really interesting because all the different characters have accomplished different things, from parenthood, to becoming a doctor, to accomplishing NOTHING, which is probably very realistic. You need a sense of humour to enjoy this show, so if you're lacking, don't bother. This movie also has my most FAVORITE movie sex scene.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: How do these people look so old at age 27???
Review: This movie was a little more true-to-life than many others that center around high school reunions. I do wonder why there was only one minority student in their graduating class from a high school in a major urban area. I did find it funny when someone asked the catering lady if they had "anything low-fat" and she just says "This is Chicago!"

David Schwimmer can not seem to break away from being Ross Gellar. Luckily, we do not see him that much. Other parts were very clever and funny ... the couple whose last name is Winnie ("Like the Pooh!" as they love to say) passing out photos of their son Tristan -- photos you can keep, like you really care! Then someone asks them if Tristan is a boy or girl name and they seem really miffed, even though in this day and age, that's a valid question.

A rather disturbing character is Lara Flynn Boyle as Grace -- the first thing she does with the photo is tell someone that it is her son with him. She soends the entire evening committing random acts of violence which frankly, could land her in jail many times over.

Other interesting characters are Holly, who gives inspirational speeches after surviving a plane crash, her friend Elektra who attracts bad luck like a magnet attracts iron filings, Maria, a pretentious Eurotrash snot, and Kevin, who is caustic the entire evening, and gets into an age-old fight with Pat, a guy he last saw when engaging in a fistfight with him during graduation.

There are no pat happy endings. If anything, there is a little more understanding between characters and not everyone learns a lesson. That's how it really is in life!! That is what makes it so realistic -- exceot for the fact that these people all look like they should celebrate their 20th reunion, not 10th!

Summary: boring and stupid
Review: This was the worst movie I have ever seen. It was boring and it had no point.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It was ok....
Review: You mean to tell me that in Chicago, there are only two black people per graduating class??? David Schwimmer makes an ok attempt at directing, but he directs like he acts...Like Ross Geller on Friends. On Friends there are no people of color in NYC and I guess the same is true in Chicago. I am a little tired of seeing this perpetuated in this industry. Liev Schreiber's dancing cop was terrific. There is one in every bunch. I give the two stars for Liev and Laura Flynn Boyle.
