Not Since You (2009)

A Masterpiece!

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This movie has lots of actors/actress's with overlapping stories but is still easy to watch and follow. It's based on old college friends and how they have grown apart and together since finishing. The 2 main characters were together but separated and she has since married. The ex comes back for a wedding reunion and still has feelings for his old flame. This causes some anger,understandably for her now husband Christian Kane as she sorts through her feelings about her ex. Through out the film other characters figure out what they want and where they are going in their lives. As I like Christian Kane, it's great to see him play this kind of character and for him to keep his girl as usually his characters in other films ends up as the bad guy or alone! In the end everyone seems to find what they are looking for an come closer as a result.

This movie is so bad that I made an IMDb account just to warn poor, romantic-comedy- seekers like myself. Do not watch this movie expecting anything fun, funny, or even remotely entertaining. The plot is so predictable my pet lizard wasn't even surprised by the conflicts or plot turns. The acting is stiff and muted, like one is watching cardboard cut outs of the actors slowly soak up rainwater and crumble in on themselves. The tortured jilted lover character talks like he has kidney stones causing him acute pain, but has recently taken and is already feeling the slowing and slurring effects of a very potent narcotic. There is no character development, and the references to 9/11 are tawdry, cheap ploys for emotion. This may well be the worst movie I've ever seen. I can never get that time back. I would have been better off spending my hour and change collecting roadkill to taxidermy. It certainly would have been more rewarding, and left me with less of a disgusted after taste. Long story short; skip this utter waste of time, space, and money.

I love all sorts of films, and Indie films are no different. I saw that could stream this one for free on Amazon, so I did. I kept waiting for the plot to thicken and draw me in, but that never happened. This was the worst movie I have seen on such a long time. There were no great performances, every single character was so one dimensional and flat. The plot was even worse. And even worse STILL was the dialogue. Some of the cheesiest lines ever were strung together to make the flimsiest plot I've ever encountered. Some of these lines included "You didn't love me, you loved the idea of me" & "I don't want to lose you, but I don't want to be the reason you're unhappy for the rest of your life." This was such a waste of my life. Don't let it be a waste of yours. I never review movies or products, but I felt I owed it to everyone with an Amazon Prime account to warn them this is a HORRIBLE choice to stream. Even for free.

The beginning shows several friends from the prestigious NYU before, during, and post their graduation during 2001 and the beginning credits. After that ends, it shows all of those friends, within other people during that friendship, or alone, after that graduation. Ashely and Daniel, two in the group are to be married in Georgia on Ashley's grandfather's plantation. The friends all rally around them and decide to go. The movie has multiple story lines all going on at once which is confusing but quite fun at the same time.Howard and Billy were best friends, and Billy is seriously dating Victoria. Victoria and Howard have history, and Billy actually basically "stole her away" from Howard in his eyes. Billy wants to marry Victoria, but he wants Howard's approval before proposing to her. The tension between them is bitter to the point where there is no talking between the two guys. Billy has a company he is seeking investors for, and you see him fumble for these investors during the entire weekend.Author Sarah, known as Doogs, is a sweet, Southern children's book author who is still a virgin and plans on saving herself for marriage. However, when running into classmate Joey, known as Fudge, she has second thoughts on her initial plan. The two go all around the little town around the plantation, and you see their relationship bloom.Sam, an old friend who fell of the grid for traveling, shows up to the wedding unexpectedly. Sam sees an old lover of sorts, Amy, and finds out that she is married to Ryan, a quiet guy that's very protective. Throughout, you see the two pick up, fall down, and see Ryan get involved.Cute, is the word I would use for this movie. It is just a nice rom. com. and I enjoyed it a lot. Totally recommend, and a great girls night movie, if put into a sub-category.
