Well, other than American Reunion...and Grosse Pointe Blank. Oh, and that Romy and Michelle movie.<br /><br />Well, shit. Look at that.<br /><br />My fave out of these three is easily Young Adult. While I love what Theron did in that movie (despite being an awful person, though...damn), I think Patton Oswalt's role in that movie is the best. That guy should be in more stuff.

Zack & Miri was okay because of Seth Rogan & Elizabeth Banks, who deserves better than this, but I'd never watch it again.<br /><br />I'd say though it's billed as a black comedy Young Adult is really a drama about a sadly lost couple of people with excellent performances. It allows a glimmer of hope at the end but there were times during it that I was squirming in my seat at the humiliation that Charlize's character created for herself.<br /><br />I forget why I never saw Just Friends in the theatre but I've meant to catch it since and it slips my mind so thanks for putting it back on my radar. I queued it up already before I forget again!<br /><br />You were not alone in struggling with this. I came up with two right away and had nothing for a third so I went searching and boy did I pay a price for that! I finally remembered a doc that fit but not before watching something so odiously bad I've included it with a caution.<br /><br />Lifeguard (1976)-Lifeguard Rick Carlson (Sam Elliott) loves his work and his laid back Southern California life. But when he attends his 15 year high school reunion he starts to feel he is stuck in a rut. Restarting a romance with his school sweetheart Cathy (Anne Archer), now a divorced mother of a young son, he becomes even more confused about his future.<br /><br />Prodigal Sons (2008)-Fascinating documentary by Kimberly Reed who returns home for her high school reunion to an uncertain reception…when she left town years earlier she was a man. Looks equally at her interaction with her former classmates and her estranged family, her adopted brother, who has been permanently disabled in a car accident, has a surprise of his own-his birth mother was the daughter of Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth! At times very sad but always interesting. <br /><br />Spring Reunion (1957)-Returning to his hometown to sell his house one-time “Most Likely to Succeed” footloose wanderer Fred Davis (Dana Andrews) has no intention of attending his upcoming 15th year reunion until he runs into successful but lonely real estate agent and the “Most Popular Girl” Maggie Brewster (Betty Hutton), his former girlfriend. As they take tentative steps towards each other their different perspectives might ruin their chance for happiness before they are even sure they have one. Subdued meditation on failed dreams was the troubled Hutton’s last feature film as well as one time silent movie queen Laura La Plante’s final bow, she plays Betty’s mother. <br /><br />Dishonorable Mention- Back in the Day (2014)-Moderately successful actor Jim Owens (Michael Rosenbaum) returns to Indiana for a high-school reunion. During the course of the time he’s home he acts like an idiot and so do most of his friends doing stupid and outlandish things. I watched this specifically because it seemingly fit this week’s theme so well but it was so moronic I had to list it with a caution and look for another actually good movie. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-14232925183441901922016-06-30T02:27:16.016-04:002016-06-30T02:27:16.016-04:00I haven't seen any of these, but Zack and Miri...I haven't seen any of these, but Zack and Miri Make a Porno and Young Adult are already on my watchlist.Sonia Cercahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07313734872038610058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-19922352588942020212016-06-30T01:06:11.989-04:002016-06-30T01:06:11.989-04:00Yeah, these are all pretty fun.

Yet, it was Anna Faris who made me laugh the most.<br /><br /><i>Zach and Miri Make a Porno</i> is quite funny as I'm often mixed on Kevin Smith's films but this is one of the films of his that I do like. <i>Young Adult</i> is seriously underrated not because of Charlize Theron but also because it's a character study of a woman who is falling apart as it is clear she needs help and has a hard time facing reality. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
