Since You've Been Gone (1998)

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This movie is a very entertaining. The writers nail the stereotypes that exist in everyone's high school class, and continue to exist 10 years later. Thank God they tend to disappear as we get older. The writing is quick witted and doesn't dummy down. While it's star studded, it's not played up. It's one of those movies you'll sit and watch the credits, to see "What's that guy's name?" David Schwimmer is the perfect arrogant ass. Molly Ringwald adorable in her cameo.The music is great for a quick glimpse back to the 80's. I highly recommend finding a copy of it to view before you attend any reunion.

i saw this one for the second time on cable this morning whilst flicking thru the channels. a movie about a typical high school reunion - with a twist. the characters dont all turn out how you expect them to be from the way they look. sure, the D&D nerds are still annoying, the head cheerleader and star quarterback are still together (hehehe) and the class psycho is still psycho, but everyone seems to be trying to be something they're not, and some are doing better (or much worse) than others. you'll ask yourself "where have i seen that actor/actress before??" many times through out the film. look out for some 80's stars cameoing as well (as well a cameo by jerry springer!) the best character? well fred of course! cuz "you've gotta dance!!"

This movie is terrible. There is no plot, no characterization, and in general no laughs. Lara Flynn Boyle of the The Practice is actually pretty funny, but she was the bright spot in an otherwise dull and unfunny movie. David Schwimmer, although hilarious on Friends, missed the mark here.

This movie lacks any sort of direction what so ever. It has no plot, the acting is lame, the characters are lame, the jokes are lame. It is one of the top 10 worst movies I have ever seen. If you like movies that aren't funny and have no plot, then go rent this movie tonight.
