Metropolitan is about 2 hours of talking and walking. An interesting idea, which was nominated for best screenplay at the academy awards, the movie in itself is far from anything considered great independent film. The group of actors are all new to the scene. Except for a small group of them, very few have actually made a career of acting. The story itself has its moments where you actually care what is going to happen next. The story begins with Tom and slowly moves away to the story of the group. Tom and Nick are the true force to the movie. However, much of the story fails to answer many questions concerning Tom and Nick. Once Nick is out of the picture, leaving the movie all together, the story is close to pointless. An overall nice try, the story has its moments but far from anything amazing. A nice little movie with an interesting plot, nothing more.
