Checking Out the movie 10 YEARS.



10 YEARS is a movie about a high school class 10th reunion and all the deep feelings involved which attract some people to reunions and repell others.

It was directed and written by Jamie Linden and the base of the actors were from Thursday night sitcoms.

It is the interaction of a large group of people, almost 30 years old, that are getting a firm foot in the door of their chosen professions.  

One guy was a bully in high school and now apparently an immature lush who felt the need to seek out all the boys he picked on and apologize.  I didn't hear it mention but that sounds like a step of the 12 step program.  He becomes a bully again, sort of, chasing people around to apologize to people that don't want anything to do with him.

One girl in high school was known as a party girl, or par-tee girl, a good time girl, a fun time girl.  She arrived at the reunion dressed sexy like she would have high school.  She flirted around the boys like she would in high school.  She went home alone.  Two boys that had a crush on her back then followed her home.  She  lived in the same house she grew up in.  They did the immature thing and rolled her house in toilet paper, just like they would have in high school.

A romance was rekindled of two people happily married until they both had a dose of reality.

The movie wasn't that bad.  Or that terrible.  Some deep profound thoughts went into it.

It's worse than bad, it's almost good, Dashiell Hammett to Lillian Hellman, referring to one of her novels.

I've found that true of lots of movies, that are worse than bad, they're almost good, so you don't just turn them off, thinking they might get better. If they're just bad, you turn them off.
