Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing. But the music's great.
Review: I was really looking forward to this movie, billed as a "Big Chill" for those who went to high school in the 80's. I did attend high school in the 80's, but found that the only part of this movie I could really relate to is the music.The movie opens the day after a monster "Come as You Were" party that, from the detritus, reminded me of the house parties that were the staples of 80's coming-of-age flicks. Unfortunately, I think I would rather have seen the party itself than the aftermath. I couldn't really relate to any of these people who seem to want to go back to high school instead of returning to their lives after their reunion. The actors' performances were great, but the story was dull, dull, dull.The music was great, even though most of the songs were just background fragments, lasting five seconds. The music, not the characters and their endless conversation, made me feel nostalgic.
Is the review positive or negative?
