Review of Celeste & Jesse Forever (2012) by Michael C — 03 Nov 2012

Throughout 'Celeste and Jesse Forever', there was this underlying message that couldn't find it's way to reach me. The whole film could be told in twenty minutes instead of 90 which is the film's downfall.

It's not terrible by any means, as far as the way it looks and how it's filmed, but it needs a few tweaks here and there. I mean, it's a sweet tale with fine performances by Jones and Samberg with some moderately funny dialogue co-written by Rashida Jones, but the story is sort of all over the place which made the film more like a race than a sprint.

I wish I could have liked it more, but it is what it is.
