Editorial Reviews

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

By	HBIGGUY - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very, very funny!, June 3, 2000

This review is from: Since You've Been Gone [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars High School'd in Chicago? See this movie!, October 7, 1999

This review is from: Since You've Been Gone [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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!!!!!
