Review of Don't You Forget About Me (2010) by Don A — 27 Feb 2010
Just got a chance to see this Canadian flick that deals with the great John Hughs.The problem I had with this movie was that it was a good idea but it can best be summed up as a home movie of an uninteresting road trip.
My main beef with this movie was that it was a good premise and it could have been something really good, but there was no reason to care for the characters. This was supposed to be a documentry, but the characters seemed to be acting rather than being sincerce.
There was even a point when one of them mentioned to one of the leads to stop acting and just be real. That being said, there were some increadibly beautiful shots that were taken [after crossing the border and standing in a field with the sun setting in the backgroud] and could have been the perfect exposition scene but was just wasted with bad dialogue.
The interviews with former Hugh's stars were inciteful and for that I'm giving it a rental rating.
