Film Watchin Fool
What you can expect from 10 Years is a predictable movie with a solid cast that revolves around the night of a 10 year high school reunion. It is well acted and you know where it is going early on, but it is still somewhat entertaining.Acting/Casting: 6.5* - The cast is made up of some solid actors (Justin Long, Channing Tatum, Chris Pratt, Ari Graynor, Jenna Dewan, Rosario Dawson, Aubrey Plaza), but none of them are going to wow you in this film. They play their respective roles well and believably, which is enough to make for a above average showing.Directing/Cinematography/Technical: 5* - I don't know that this genre of film can be directed or done anything but average. The story is obvious and blatant, which makes the directing pretty straight forward. The set is done well for a 10 year high school reunion and the music is solid.Plot/Characters: 5* - Again, the story is blatant and predictable, which makes the film not quite as entertaining as it could have been. Not only is the story given away early on, but the characters are fairly stereotypical as well.Entertainment Value: 5.5* - I enjoyed the movie and it was worth a watch, but I don't know that I would tell anyone to go out of their way to see it. If it happens to be on while you are flipping, it might help fill an hour and a half.My Score: 6.5+5+5+5.5 = 22/4 = 5.5Email your thoughts to
