Movie Reviews

Couldn't quite put my finger on it . . .

Luckily, someone else did when they said the film is like a (admittedly beautifully photographed and designed - although that really just adds to the artificiality) feature-length Beach Boys ode to youth, but it portrays an 'awareness' that real young people don't grasp until long after that time has passed." That pretty much sums it up. Reminded me of something I heard once: "Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth - oh, never mind . . . you won't appreciate the power and beauty of youth until yours is gone." And yes, these are late-20-somethings (one of whom was Miss Teen USA - you know, just like in your high school clique) playing 17 year-olds. But to be fair - they usually are. Nice try, but it's been done. Better.

Empty Coming of Age Drama

Reviewed by vicstevinson 5 / 10

Flawed premise, wasted cast

If this was about two or three out of the eight trying to reach a benchmark before college, that could have been feasible, but all eight? That's simply contrived.The film plays out like a feature-length Beach Boys ode to youth, but has an awareness of what's happening that people usually don't grasp until long after the time has passed.Shame, really, the cast is appealing and seems up to the task of a lighthearted last-day-before-college day at the beach, maybe some sexual intrigue, maybe a regret or two; but these are eight actors tasked with playing one role. This film could have been about them realizing just how divergent their personalities are, now that high school is behind them.
