Review of The Diary of Preston Plummer (2012) by Caesar M — 08 Dec 2012

The Diary of Preston Plummer is a low budget movie with a $125,000 spent to make it. The movie is slow and small on scale which could be the reason for its obscurity to the public, but this is a well made drama worth viewing.

The Dairy of Preston Plummer follows the title character life when he falls in love with a young woman and threatens to lose that love when uncovering his love dark past. This film is a love story at it core with deeper layers of meaning when the movie unfolds. The love story is a bit hard to buy since it falls in the "We've only know each other for about 60 minutes" category. The plot itself does not explore new territory of any kind. It has a plot thread about greed and money we've seen a dozen time in the genre. The characters themselves are likable and become more developed through the course of the movie. It is slow by a big stretch as we tend to see the shame shot for a very long time and sometimes our character get sidetrack from the main plot talking about events that are meaningless to the main plot. The acting is fairly decent for a low budget movie. The cast has good chemistry with one another and Trevor Morgan is a enjoyable lead. Though Trevor Morgan does look like Robert Pattinson, except Trevor can act. The film is shot well, but you get the feeling the material was long enough despite its hour and twenty minute run time. You'll probably get tire seeing the same scenery more than once, but this is an indie film worth checking out. It's a drama, with a love story, and mystery to for our character to unfold come together to bring us a satisfying experience.

The Diary of Preston Plummer is an above average drama that makes for a option to pass the time with. It might be anything great, but it is an indie you will have good with.
