Great Film Touching Hilarious
I recently say the director's cut for this film at the Las Vegas Film Festival . I went in late and didn't know what to expect, but was immediately drawn in and laughing. It's the story of a woman runs into an old high school friend and discovers she is dying of cancer. She then goes about getting to gather the old high school gang of girls called Sunny. There are flash backs to the thing they did in high school as well as adventures they go on as adults during this quest to reunite the group. It is the ultimate chick flick and even with sub-sitles you will want to watch it over and over. I know I can't wait to purchase this item.
when a lot of one's lifetime has run its course
I can understand the review by "Pearls of Wisdom," but, as a guy of a certain age, my take on this film was a bit different. I have been through so much in my life, lost and gained so much, but I always knew there would be (in the words of another movie) a "before" and an "after" no matter what happened. Well, these days my "before" is beginning to outweigh my "after" with a vengeance. It seems every morning I get up to the "after" getting smaller and smaller, and the "before" getting exponentially larger and larger. In other words, I now carry a very big "before," and with little or limited "after" to do something about anything I might still wish (prior to "getting my ticket punched") to recapture or to alter about my "before".
This seems the stealth message of this movie. We never know how much time we've got left. How often I've wanted to embrace and reassure the little boy going through so much in my childhood, to let him know that things will get better. He...
Sunshine Sunny!!!
What an excellent ensemble cast. The casting director did a spectacular job arranging the right young ladies in the teen group as well as the ahjumma group. The chemistry between the two groups made this an enjoyable and worthwhile movie. I have personal experience in group dynamics as watching this movie brought back a lot of pleasant as well as sad memories for me.Give yourself two hours and take this time to view this most delightful heartwarming movie. I will be a fulfilling 2 hours of Sunshine Sunny!!!!
