I'm not a fancy reviewer, hell.. I'm a suburban mom with 2 kids. The fanciest I ever get is putting on lipstick to go to the Olive Garden. But I know movies. And I absolutely adore this movie. The acting was fantastic (crushing on Denny!) for the entire cast. When I wish I had friends like this in real life.. then I know I watched true artists. From the well-written characters to the actors who delivered the lines..
It was reminiscent of John Hughs with the soundtrack, some cuts, and some of the style.. but it brought back that nostalgia without making it nauseating or comical.
I know the movie was indie, but it truly didn't feel that way. The use of space, the angles, and the actors made it feel so inviting.
As Will Ferrell would say, as he is impersonating James Lipton "It was a DELIGHT!"
PS.. By the end of the movie, you'll want Carlo to be your best friend too. Claire was awesome too - tough as nails, beautiful hair, and dedicated!
