10 Year Reunion - Movie Review

I just finished watching 10 years. Yes i'm a year and a half late - but I wanna blog. So there's that.
 
The premise: a group very good looking people on their late 20's get together for their 10th year high school reunion.

The 1st problem is (other than the obvious good looks and healthy weight of all involved, including the picked-on "nerd", you know perhaps I should make this the 1st problem, crap I'm already digressing).


Anyway, my 1st inclination to put this movie in the Fantasy category was the fact that everyone was actually excited for this10 year reunion, to the extent that some even flew in...because airline tickets are cheap....yeah.

To add to the fantasy: There's an indie rock star, the sexiest man alive, adorable nerds, a guy who was an asshole to the adorable nerd who wants to repent and of course conversation that rarely involves awkwardness, despite the 10 year gap since last they all last converged.

Through the absurdity of it all I whole heatedly loved this movie. I mean like, adored it. I mean like, if there was a Blockbuster video store I would totally buy a previewed copy at a discounted rate.

There were some wonderfully told stories that I cant imagine everyone wishing were true and completely theirs. Perhaps since I just went to my 20th reunion I find this movie so fantastical and decedent. I really wasn't close to anyone in High School and I haven't followed up on what everyone (or anyone for that matter) has become....but wouldn't it be the it be great to show up and find that despite my lack of connecting, a sensitive and sexy rock star I went to school with wrote a #1 hit song about me and my funny shoes? *le sigh*

That scenario is completely up there with chocolate molten lava cake decadence.

I  give this movie 4.5 out of 5 stars, but only based on the fact that it's Sci-Fi - Fantasy.
