Best Narrative Feature |
If you read the critics reviews, you'll believe this film is just dribble. In fact, it's a very deep film delving into the high school memories of Henry McCarthy.
I got this movie on the basis of its IMDb score and the one big name - Winona Ryder. I have to say - IMDb voters, you let me down this time.
This film left me liking Henry and Scarlett a lot. Yes its clichéd and yes its unrealistic, but its a comedy, maybe a gentle comedy, but comedy none the less.
Which could be a description of the main character ... not.
The title says it stay cool i say stay away or stay fool i am a Hilary duff fan as i have seen many of her films she;s not a action lady like Maggie Q she does romantic and comedy films some of her films are bad but many of them are underrated but this time she chooses the wrong script its a Winona Ryder film the story is about high school nostalgia that never ends with young guys in a kids movie someone should do age check before casting.
Can the high school geek who morphed into a best selling author finally bury his adolescent angst by retuning home to give the commencement address? And what about the cute cheerleader he was too shy to call after graduation - even though she asked him to?
For Winona Ryder fans, this could be a nice movie. This is the story of a successful novelist, who returns to his home to give a graduation speech.
I rented this movie with on the expectation that it might be an intelligent comedy with some good actors. Unfortunately it turned out to be badly written garbage.
Being a Winona Ryder fan, I saw this listed in her credits but had never heard of it. A cute concept for a movie is destroyed by a non-charismatic, lifeless and dull performance by Mark Polish.
