Summary: This movie rules
Review: Probably the most honest and thoughtful treatment of the hard issue that 20 somethings face in today's wacky world. The dialogue is pure genius, and the directing reveals true talent. I expect this indie to be one of those that people buy in mass hordes once it's makers hit the big time. I loved this movie!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great film, awesome DVD
Review: This is a very good film with some excellent special features. The film is about friends who get together after the suicide of their friend and drink to disassociate themselves from the strong feelings they are experiencing. Their conversation runs from theology to raunchy sex and is witty and thought provoking.

As for the special features, the interactive drinking game (Drink-O-Vision) was a fantastic time. My friends and I could barely walk after the film. There was also director's commentary that gave great advise on how to make an independent film, an interview with the filmmakers, and a library of drinking games. There were other special features, however these were my favorite.

Check out this disc, it was excellent.

Summary: one of the better indie films
Review: This movie even though slightly grainy you are endured by the character development and you kind of root on characters as they talk about anything and everythingto keep their minds off a passed away friend. It came out the same time as clerks and has a same dialogue. "beer run" Kind of resembles the big chill.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Honest Black Humor
Review: This movie is one of the best indie suprises I've ever had. I've dealt with this subject first hand and I am amazed by the truthfullness, bluntness, and seriousness the writer had. I felt like I relived my party days of high school. These were the people I knew in high school.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Bad movie, Great DVD
Review: This movie was terrible. A Gen-X version of "The Big Chill" sans the great music or good acting, for that matter. I don't have much more to say about the movie other than it was BAD.

The only redeeming quality of this DVD (which is obviously absent from the VHS tape) is that it has a feature with drinking games on it. Kind of a neat little library, if you ask me, to keep on hand for a party (or a private or personal binge, though I don't recommend that). They even make the movie itself into a drinking game in that you identify yourself with a character (each character drinks more or less than the others on average) and drink whenever that character drinks. There are also other rules for when you have to drink (ie, whenever anyone mentions sex).

Frankly, I am not one for independent movies, really, but some have blown me away. This, unfortunately, didn't come even close to that, and I wanted to pull my own hair out one by one by the end of the movie. If I could get this DVD super cheaply, I would buy it for the drinking games library, but I would much rather play a drinking game with another movie or a TV show. I'm sure you can find great ones on the internet.

Summary: big chill minus the talent
Review: This unorigial snoozer will make you lose your taste for any more indy films about a group of young friends. Tired-out jokes, incredibly predictable storyline, cliched characters, and a Hootie-like soundtrack make this Big Chill rip-off a big drag.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wit and Reality
Review: This was a great movie - the acting is a bit awkward at times, but that almost makes the characters more real and that much more appealing. They reminded me of people I know...and of those twisted conversations you can only have with your closest friends (usually while under the influence).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Older adults probably won't like it.
Review: Yes, some of the acting could have been better in parts. Yes, it was sort of like a "Big Chill Wannabe". But, this is one of the funniest indie movies I've ever seen. The dialogue is great. I doubt anyone over 30 would like it that much, though.
