Movie Reviews of Getting ThereMovie Review: Primo Choice for Real Fans Summary: 5 Stars
This movie rocks. You must watch it for the characters, which are the best casted and most enjoyable of all their movies. The plot has been criticized by some but the movie has other important strengths. The plot is merely a shifting background for the hilarious personalitities. For example,Toast is a stereotypical surfer-dude who is just TOO obsessed with eating. "Dude, Sam... Lunch is like the fifth most important meal of the day." Danny is the leader of the boys, who you might remember from Holiday In The Sun. Sam has a hopeless crush on Kylie (Mary-Kate). Many teens will be able to relate to their relationship. Kylie shows girls a gentle, yet firm way of letting a guy down. One memorable attempt to tell him she wasn't interested was, "We're in that area... the gray area, between friends and...... Friends." Jen is really charming and sweet, and definitely maintains the beauty quotient for the group. Guess who gets her s'mores-flavored kiss when they get to the lodge? Lindy is the cute airhead, who seems to get excluded but ends up with one of the boys by the end. Charlie is the unexpected heroine of the group. This time, Mary Kate is the wild one and Ashley is the cautious one. As usual, the twins (and their friends) are enviable for their luxurious lifestyle and permissive parents. One of my favorite lines was when the twins' parents surprise them with a classic Ford Mustang and Danny says, "Mr. and Mrs. Hunter... Think you could adopt me?" The music really adds to the humor and emotion of Getting There. For example, listen to the theme that goes along with all of the developing boyfriend-girlfriend moments. The dialog is well written because there are a lot of inside-jokes you feel you are a part of. The strength of the movie is its way of giving you a comfortable familiarity with the friends. I recommend this movie to their fans. I finally bought it, after watching it five times. But in all fairness, the first time I saw this movie, I thought it was their worst one! I put it in again because there was nothing else on TV and then I discovered the things that made it hilarious and very endearing. I think you will too! This movie is different from all the others because it is never about the parents or catching the bad guys.
Summary of Getting ThereTAYLOR AND KYLIE HUNTER ARE SWEET SIXTEEN AND LICENSED TO DRIVE. GRAB A SEAT IN THEIR CLASSIC FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE AS THEY SET OUT ON THEIR VERY FIRST ROAD TRIP, TO THE 2002 WINTERGAMES IN UTAH. CUTE OUTFITS, EVEN CUTER GUYS. AND ALL KINDS OFFRIENDS ALONG THE WAY.
