Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
ambrcornelio As described with the summary above, this review gave question upon question. The film starts out as quiet, scientific college graduate Preston isn't walking the stage for his university's graduation. He sits in a lab (which by coincidence, is open, and there just HAPPENS to be a full bottle of whiskey) and drinks out of a beaker along with his sorrows. His professor comes in and pours out such adoration towards this bum, and says how great he was. Super cliché, no one really cares. He ends up going to this party and meets this girl, and they go to the bathroom together, super sketchy. Ends up escaping, and then she basically cons him into driving her down to an island where her family resides along with the hotel they own.Super sketchy, asking some random guy that just rescued you from a bathroom to drive you home, but it's indie Hollywood, we'll forget it. Preston and Kate (the terribly clingy girl) meet her parents, and shortly Preston meets this guy who turns out to be Kate's grandfather. Later at dinner that evening, Preston drops the bomb of how he met him, and the mother and Kate go crazy, leaving Preston misunderstood. Poor guy, no one told him ANYTHING, and the grandfather was a heck of a lot more understanding and kind then the crazy parents.Long story short, there was a case claiming the grandfather raped his granddaughter, Kate, and it was entirely untrue. The mother made it up so she could get land to have their hotel on, totally ridiculous and crazy. Preston finds this out, and then Kate goes all crazy for him seeing him various times in this however long period. The grandfather commits suicide in the lobby of the hotel, and the mother claims she did what she could to "protect her daughter".This movie was terrible, too. It had super dark points that lead no where, and the characters were too crazy and didn't add up to anything in the plot. Preston was too gentle to be around these people, and the mother was a whole other movie that could've been made and would've sucked. There was no plot, no point, and nothing made sense.
Troye Dchgl The Diary of Preston Plummer was set on an island of great scenery and filled with the beauty of nature, gradually inserting elements of crime into what starts as a drama or romance.Preston has just graduated high school, and meets Kate in a party. He takes her home and she asks for a favor - to drive her back home where her parents' hotel are - which he accepts. The true greatness of the countryside sets in, and at the same time we learn about Kate's family and her grandpa. Grandpa meets Preston, talks without making much sense, fills the conversation with seemingly inexplicable riddles and a plethora of unanswered questions. The story begins as develop, as both the romance and the secrets in this family are revealed. Preston becomes determined to look for the truth, and things come to a conclusion as the matters are settled.This is an above average drama and delivers viewers a satisfying experience throughout. It is a love story, but one that has deeper layers, one that digs deeper into family secrets, which soon incorporate into the romantic relationship going on between the two young lovers. It is engaging enough to keep the audience attentive and entertained for a relatively short span of 80 minutes. But it is effective in bringing about its messages about greed and family relationships. On top of that, it is an unusual love story set in a different environment, which is refreshing with comforting music and the bless of nature.
michaelsdorey I'm still wondering how a movie that is seemingly small in scope, with a slow measured cadence could have been so exciting. Not exciting in the traditional blockbuster way, but with a tension filled plot that defies your assumptions of what will happen next, right up until the end. The acting is well done and the characters grow on you. As the movie progresses their welfare drives your interest in the plot.See this on the large screen if you can, to fully experience the feeling of solitude throughout the movie, in the landscape, the individuals and the relationships. With" less money than most movies spend on food", Sean Ackerman has made a film with as much value as anything you might see this season.
Ron Manganiello Excellent story - genuine characters; the somewhat gritty film and sound quality is totally understandable considering that the movie was created for about the price of a Tesla electric sports car. The writer, director, producer showed up after the opening in his scrubs fresh from his day job as an MD in the Burlington Vermont Hospital. Great guy - you want to take him home and make dinner for him. We had read a very negative review of the movie that almost scared us away. There is a sincerity about the script and acting that is rare in the typical, slick Hollywood productions. See the movie, tell your friends!
