The well-known cast’s delivery accurately showcased the awkward moments that are inevitable in reunions as well as the eventual melding and settling of a group of former close friends. Chris Pratt as Cully, the high school bully turned family-oriented father of two, along with Aaron Yoo as Peter Jung, one the former bullied, stole the show with their back-and-forth antics. However, 10 Years also captured the poor pacing of the more unfortunate reunions. Granted, the film was great portraying how reunions generally flow, but anyone who’s been to a reunion knows that they can be dull and never-ending if the ice isn’t broken or the timeline of events doesn’t flow well. 10 Years was a yo-yo of timing, several times pulling viewers in only to lose its momentum.

With the exception of a small portion, the characters aren’t introduced well enough before going into the core story and it contributes to the uncomfortable pacing. Since we don’t know these characters individually before the film, it was more difficult to really care about them until the last half of the movie when all the storylines started getting tied up. That said, 10 Years does manage to capture the feel of adults trying to assimilate their current maturity with their former divisions and “cliques” common among high-schoolers.

I love the idea of this movie, as there is much opportunity for stories about shameless past deeds, long-time loves, and other topics that make up a large part of the film industry, to be incorporated with the under-explored category of reunions. In fact, many of those same topics are covered in 10 Years, which made it overall a film that I enjoyed, will likely watch again, though probably also one that I will find myself fast-forwarding through some of the lagging segments.… Expand

10 Years is a movie to see once and forget. It falls into category of comedy drama that offers some good moments but at the same time nothing in particular. It is not a bad movie, but not enough good to raise it above dull mediocrity.

This is a movie of a loosely affiliated "types" all getting together for their reunion and every one of them just has this one storyline they need to take care of and resolve from their school days. Why this particular melange of charactersThis is a movie of a loosely affiliated "types" all getting together for their reunion and every one of them just has this one storyline they need to take care of and resolve from their school days. Why this particular melange of characters would have ever hung out together I don't know. Why it's all so schmaltzy and corny, also I don't know. But it's somewhat pleasing and the cast is stupendous. Chris Pratt drunk acting is top-shelf stuff. Even Channing Tatum, while not fall-down inebriated at any point, does a very good low-level drunk face the whole movie - I'm pretty sure that's acting.… Expand
