The Romantics (2010)
A very shallow, immature, phony dose to friendship and love
22 June 2011
Wow, this movie is so superfluously boring. The younger generation and the older generation in this movie are nothing but a bunch of foolish grown-ups with retarded maturity problem. All the people described and acted in this movie got such shallow way of dealing with their emotions, romances, memories, friendship and relationship. It's so unconvincing they were really good friends in college, because they were so pretentious and so phony to each other. I didn't believe that these bunch of so-called good friends would consider their friendship were so true and so important that they would have taken leaves from their jobs and their own daily lives elsewhere and traveled to that particular wedding get-together.

This is a very poorly scripted movies. Bad interpretation by the director also further eroded the direction and the tone of the movie, resulted it in a very noisy, absurd, pretentious, shallow, mesh potato-like junk food. None of the characters in this movie, young or old were likable. The younger males and females were all turned into just a bunch of kindergarten or elementary immature and goofy school kids, running around, quarrel, back stabbing, jealous. The ways how they treated their friendship and love were so twisted and phony.

This is a very tiresome and boring movie to watch, exactly like rushing in and out of a train station, so crowd, so noisy and everyone is stranger.
