My Movie Monday

Sometimes, THAT ONE TIME can stick with you for the rest of your life. Jolene(Scout Taylor-Compton) knew Wes(Landon Liboiron) during high school. There was a time she loved him, but he was definitely not going to change. And she did. She met Quin (Tracy Spiridakos) off at art school. She really thought things were looking up. Although, Quin wasn't a sure bet either. Can she relate to Wes, anymore? Does she really want too?
Jolene remembers Wes even if she hasn't seen him in a very long time. She keeps wondering if she ruined his life. She feels its all her fault that he turned out the way he did. She feels certain things would have been better if she'd never left him.
The movie has its serious yet funny moments in a very indie film kind of way. Like bad hair days!
Its a 20 something film remembering high school days. Thoughts of how much life has changed yet some things stay the same.
Landon's Wes just might be the comic relief of the movie. He did a lot of silly things at house parties. Perhaps, Jolene is better off without him as she thinks back about being with him in high school.
Perhaps, it is a movie more about growing up, after all.

  1. I like movies like this, capturing that last stage of awkwardness before adulthood.
