Review of Just Before I Go (2015) by Thomas A — 15 May 2016
As a directorial debut by Courtney Cox, "Just Before I Go" is actually not as bad as some people say. I've seen movies by directors, who have been at it for years, who didn't do as well as this.
So no, it really isn't as terrible as some have said. That being said, the most disappointing aspect of the film is actually Sean Williams Scott. I've enjoyed his earlier roles, and he always made me laugh, but his one-note acting in this film leaves much to be desired.
I understand that he was taking his part seriously, however when a movie is loaded with a sleepwalking masturbator, penises is a bowl, and little boys saying the word, "c*nt," (among other things), it makes the tone of the movie a bit lopsided.
There were some genuine laugh out loud moments, and some poignant scenes, which made this movie fairly enjoyable. And as long as you're not looking for an Oscar winning movie, but rather something to watch when you've run out of other options, you won't be disappointed if you give this a chance.
A solid 3-star movie!
