Reunion - Trailer
Some movies aren't good enuff for movie screens so they are made for TV. However, there are some movies that fall under this category, but somehow bypass that step and are basically glorified 90 minute TV shows on a movie screen. It would be one thing if these long length TV shows were something to write Santonio Holmes about, but it's another thing when these production devalued flicks aren't really even worth writing reviews of
First up is
Sherman's Way, an way too breezy buddy road movie with no wheels. The überly-annoying Sherman is played by the über-überly-annoying
Michael Shulman. Apparently Shulman was a child actor of note awhiles back, and this is his first screen role since 2001. Based on his un-winning performance, we hope he takes another 8 years off.
James LeGros (who we still believe is the same person as
Jack Noseworthy) gives it his all, playing Sherman's laidback reluctant mentor, but not even his fine work can make us say anything but NO
WayAnd then there's
Reunion, a
Big Chillish luke-warm get together of uppity middle-agers reflecting on past good times and dour current ones. The film is loaded with oodles of '
that guy's and '
that girl's (
Shooter McGavin,
that adorable lady from The Player,
that dude on Lost who was having an affair with Juliet,
that dude who always plays an a$$hole, and
the MILF from Aliens In America, juss to name a fuse), and plenty of dialog that probably sounded halfway decent on paper, but zeroway interesting on celluloid
If someone had a gun to yer back and forced you to pick between these two movies, you'd probably be better off taking a bullet, but we would give the slightest edge to
Reunion, but only cause it doesn't star Michael Shulman
Never Not Say Nevin Again: poor
Brooke Nevin. she's a decent actress, who's beyond adorable, and what does she have to show for it? a run of crappy movies and TV shows, including playing the love interest of Sherman, which is a fine that should be only punishable by death
Verdictgo: both be
Slit Yer Eyes Out RepoopulousSherman and
Reunion both open in very limited release today, although neither really needed to be released at all
and until next thyme the balcony is clothed...
