I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Lack of good storyline.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

An entertaining soundtrack running pleasantly under a melodramatic knockoff of The Big Chill. Not Since You is an over wrought script that is excruciatingly over-acted. The movie is populated by many pretty people, at a wedding that has even more pretty people attending, with stately houses, a Norman Rockwell town, and vacation scenery. Your cup will over flow with pretty people. Your cup will also over flow with melodrama, as an ensemble of actors are forced to make hopeful, painful, and glum faces over decades old interactions that supposedly remained unsettled. No worries, the script makes sure that every loose end is tied up, every emotional problem is resolved, and everyone either remains, or becomes, happily coupled. Whatever hope you might have when the soundtrack begins to play upon your emotions will be stifled, prepare to be smothered in a bath of emotional spaghetti. i've yearned for another generations The Big Chill. I didn't get my own generations and perhaps its too much to ask. Do not ask it of this dreadful movie.

This is a positively dreadful rehashing of the "Big Chill" motif. Some of the characters are positively uninteresting and rank downward into gratingly obnoxious. The few who do manage to attract my attention quickly repel me with their poor acting or horridly written dialogue. In keeping with the modern trend of trying to intertwine a multiplicity of different stories in order to avoid having to come up with a real plot is brought to new heights of dullness in this insipid production.Jeff Stephenson has directed some good works in the past, but with this one I think he must have been just as unenthusiastic as I am. Or possibly drunk. Looking through the cast of characters I see only one actor who turned out a good performance, veteran Barry Corbin of Northern Exposure fame. His depiction of colorful Uncle Dennis provides the only bright spots in this unfortunate hodgepodge of trite stereotypes.If you are a student of writing, directing or acting, study this movie as a splendid example of what not to do. Otherwise, don't waste your time.

A group of close friends from NYU have not seen much of each other since 9/11. A weekend wedding will have the group gathering in Athens, Georgia...but will things be the same; will the friends be the same? Sam(Desmond Harrington), the hopeless romantic and world traveler returns to find his former sweetheart Amy(Kathleen Robertson)married to a man less adventurous; more or less an outsider. Now the all-American girl finds her heart in a dilemma upon seeing Sam again. Friends Howard(Jon Abraham)and Billy(Will Estes)are not speaking since gal pal Victoria(Sunny Mabrey)came between them. Meanwhile a beer loving "Fudge"(Elden Henson)gets some surprise attention from the group's novelist played by the adorable Sara Rue. There is some humor found in this romantic drama; and NOT SINCE YOU is real easy in touching your emotions. Also in the cast: Barry Corbin, Christian Kane, Victoria Leigh and Liane Balaban.

A really great romantic independent with strong writing, great directing and really good performances. It's got a "Big Chill" style storyline with friends getting together after a few years for a big event (a marriage rather than a funeral). It takes place in Athens, Georgia and the location is great, perfect for a wedding but with lots of space for the characters to interact. The bride and groom barely appear in the film as it's not about the culmination of a romance but rather past friends coming together and dealing with their lives and romances since they were last all together. Will past lovers reunite, will former best friends continue to let a girl come between them, will a young man come to terms with his dark secret and rediscover life outside of the bottle? Hey, it's a movie so it's got lots of big emotions but it always feels grounded and real even during the moments of comedy. Proof that little can-do independents can outclass, and provide a much better film than the big studio Rom-Coms we're getting these days. A good story told with warmth, humor and above all...romance.
