Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

This is a high school reunion from hell. The geeks, the jocks, the disillusioned, the pretentious, the pretenders, and the precious all gather for a 10-year reunion. There also seems to be a couple of criminally insane alumni, but we are meant to regard them with amusement.

First-time director David Schwimmer brings nothing new to the table, as the jokes are patently obvious, crude, and rather nasty. The characters are little better than stereotypes and caricatures. The only positive aspect of this flick is an interesting cast. Expect intriguing cameos from Marisa Tomei, Liev Schreiber, Molly Ringwald, and even Jerry Springer. --Rochelle O'Gorman

3.0 out of 5 stars Catches the spirit of a real reunion, July 19, 2006

This review is from: Since You've Been Gone (DVD)

I have liked this film for years. While it's not a great film, it catches, and sometimes spoofs every reunion that you've been to. The guy living on past glories, the faded beauties, the nerd making it good, and the slick con artist. Laura Flynn Boyle is great, and I love the dark humor of her character.

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.

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.
