10 Years
Jamie Linden
A high school reunion matters only to those who were there in the first place. You want to know who got fat, who got married, who got rich and what happened to the one who got away.
The drama 10 Years addresses these questions as Jake (Magic Mike’s Channing Tatum) and his ex Mary (Rosario Dawson) circle each other, singer Reeves (Oscar Isaac) gets another chance with loner Elise (Kate Mara) and married-with-children Cully (Chris Pratt) and Sam (Ari Graynor) squabble.
Too bad you are not really invested in the answers.
The cast is too sprawling and their backstories are not well sketched out.
There are a few poignant moments towards the end but it takes too long for first-time director Jamie Linden (screenwriter for We Are Marshall, 2006) to get there.
