Standing Still Audience Reviews

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
disfrutar75 First things first if you are like me and is going to watch this movie because of amy adams or any other girl in this film don't bother, it's not worth it, you don't even see her that much and her character sucks. If you are not, and still want to watch this movie just watch the trailer everything is in it.I didn't like this movie it was so slow but I just wanted to clear up some things my IMDb fellows said about this film. Like funny scenes, were you high when you watched this movie, because there are none, some funny moment but kind a despite them. Another one said "the situations seems familiar" it's because it's so banal. So of course some scenes will feel like it happened to you, except maybe for the airplane part. So you get to watch people you don't know having a night out without any special moment. This movie is so slow, it's an endless chain of discussion about everything and nothing. There is no point to this picture. The only thing that would have made this movie watchable would have been the presence of Miss Marie Regina FISCHER. She could have helped, at least we would saw her during those endless discussions. You don't even remember the name of the characters at the end. It's a fine representent of a new award the lee kirk academy award. It's what we call in the business a "lee kirk movie" (It's not a good thing)
mario_c It's a nice movie about a couple that is going to merry and invite their friends to spend the wedding weekend in their home. Some of these friends know each others, but others don't. It's funny to see how they all relate!This movie is half comedy, half drama, but it's a very "smooth" and "light" film… Like other IMDb user said it's very "easy to watch"… The drama part is related to old frustrations of some characters, things unsolved from the past, but it's not too dramatic or melodramatic, no, it's a very "light drama"… The comedy parts are the funny scenes, which are very simple but effective! They aren't so many, but enough to make you laugh!I also loved some characters: "Pockets" (played by Jon Abrahams) which is pretty funny; "Jennifer" (Lauren German) the lesbian girl; "Elise", the bride (Amy Adams), which is extremely sweet (!); and finally "Lana" (Mena Suvari), the "confused" girl… All in all it's a nice film about love and human relationships (woman-man… and even woman-woman…)! The wedding stuff is just plot's background!
Jeff Beachnau A group of college kids return four years after graduation for a wedding. It sounds clichéd, and well, it is, but the ensemble is great that I didn't mind too much. It stars 20-something actors including Colin Hanks, Ethan Embry, Adam Garcia, Amy Adams, Mena Suvari, James Van Der Beek, and Jon Abrahams. Xander Berkeley is also in it for a little bit. The film has a bunch of familiar story lines with all of the different characters, but the actors do a good job of performing it. I would have liked it more if it stayed strictly comedy though, there were some parts where it tried to go to drama and it just felt a little out of place.But anyway, it was a nice film, I'm sure the average college kid will enjoy it. And with so many characters, the director did a good job of not making the film too crowded and unorganized.
amyrebecc An amazing cast (impressive that the director got them all to do this low-budget film) Great job by first time director Matthew Cole Weiss. Funny, enjoyable to watch and identifiable. Think any recent college grad would relate. Colin Hanks as the agent, Jon Abrahams as the forlorn and lovable "Pockets Malone" and Ethan Embry as Donavan Parker, the originator of Power TIme were a riot. James Van Derbek looked great and did an excellent job as the actor "Simon Blake". The girls are all beautiful. Even the supporting cast is impressive, (Xander Berkley & Roger Avery). I enjoyed the soundtrack as well. Kudos to Weiss and the producers for this impressive little film.
