Cherry (2010)

Simply Perfect

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

If your looking for an amazing indie film with great acting, story line and characters than STOP and watch cherry.I first came across cherry when I was on a Kyle Gallner movie binge watching session. At first the trailer didn't excite me but I thought I'd give it a shot anyways.Aaron is a young shy, nerdy kid going to collage. His pushy mother signs him up for his classes that although he is brilliant at doesn't particularly want to do. So he secretly swaps one for an art class where his whole world gets knocked upside down by a beautiful older women and her teenage daughter.I love everything about this film. The quick dialogue, the characters, the fact that you don't even feel like your watching an indie film. You could watch Cherry 10 times over and you'll still laugh and cry like it was the first time. 10/10

This film was full of surprises. It is nothing like you expect, and I hail it as the religious textbook, or should I say "video" book of our future generation. Well, maybe, not that exactly. However, I frequently look at Hollywood films (frequently reminded), and I tell myself, "why did they get Oscars? I hate this trash!" So now, recently I have been looking at independent films, such as "Cherry." After watching Cherry, I can honestly say that ALL Hollywood filmmakers MUST and should be required to take acting/filmmaking lessons from the filmmakers of this movie, Cherry. I say this, because this movie is done on a level of power that will only be available in the future. Enough said, I "Cherrish" this movie! oooooooh!

I just came from a screening of this movie at Western Michigan University where they filmed parts of the movie. I was so surprised and entertained by the movie. As a native Michigan resident, I loved that it had a homey feel based on how much of the landscape and buildings I recognized. The scenery is beautiful; Michigan in the fall, but maybe I'm biased. The movie is relatable on many levels and can be enjoyed by by anyone. It centers around a young man's experience his first year at college. But anyone can relate to themes of breaking away from the norm, standing up to one's parents and having crazy fun times. I really recommend it.

I had the pleasure of seeing this movie at SXSW this year, and even briefly go to meet the filmmaker - all and all, I really like this movie.There's something personal to this coming of age story that we can all relate to - our first time. Our first year at college, the first time we thought we were in love, got our heartbroken, failed, followed our dreams, stuck up for ourselves, etc.The story is simple - our hero, Aaron, starts his first year at an Ivy League school. It's his first chance to get away from his controlling mother, who has planned most of his life, and he can now follow more of his own dreams. He struggles a little bit with making friends and making the grades, but doesn't start finding himself until he meets single mother, Linda, and her daughter, Beth.They all struggle with acceptance for who they are and who they want to be - waiting for life to happen to them instead of making life happen for them.This movie is fun, humorous, and enjoyable. Every performance in this movie is worth seeing, from the acting to the film making. If you have the chance to see it, I recommend it.
