Movie Reviews of Indian Summer
Movie Review: The Little Chill
Summary: 1 Stars
Apparently some viewers connect with this movie, but I sure didn't. It's a weak imitation of "The Big Chill" - minus the great music. A bunch of adults gather together with chums from summer camp, and try to recreate the zany fun of those wistful summer days. The premise for that gathering is that they have been invited back by the camp owner, dear old "Uncle Lou," to hear him announce the camp is closing forever. Several of the adults are suffering predictable identity crisis, or career angst. There are also the predictable memories of the first kiss, sex on the deserted island, and stupid practical jokes. I like to laugh at movies, but I didn't even get a smile from this one. And it didn't pull any other emotions either, because there don't seem to be any real characters here. There is the confirmed middle aged bachelor, with his trophy 21-year old date. There is the sensitive bad-boy who turns up unexpectedly after dropping out for 20 years. There is the single woman, who likes her independence, but grudgingly admits to feeling desperate for a partner. If she wasn't so beautiful, that plot line might be more believable. In fact, all of the women are so damn good looking as to make the whole thing unreal. If you are thinking of buying this movie, don't. Or at least rent it first to be sure you won't be disappointed. (I am glad this DVD was only 10 bucks, 'cuz that's all I wasted.)Movie Review: If you like to go to weddings of humdrum people you don't know, you won't want to miss Indian Summer!

The title of my review is an actual quote from NY Times movie critic Vincent Canby. That quote makes me laugh every time I see it, which is more than I can say for Indiant Summer.
My friends and I watched the movie, knowing full well that it would be godawful. Within the first 20 minutes of the movie, we found our prejudices about the film validated. This is a bland movie with generic actors and terrible comedy. Watching this movie in the hopes of being entertained is like eating cake in the hopes of losing weight. The only entertainment we derived from this movie was our own comments about how mediocre Indian Summer truly was.
Just look at the cover and you'll get an idea of how boring and average this movie is. In fact, you can tell that the characters on the front cover were Photoshop'd into the canoe.
Movie Review: Great movie, but BOOOOOOO to the DVD
Summary: 1 Stars
I saw this movie the first time back when I was in highschool and really liked it, and had actually nearly forgotten about it until I saw it, instantly remembered it, and bought it. What I didn't notice until I was home and had opened it was that it was Fullscreen. A minor setback, I thought. I figured I'd just return it for the widescreen version-- until I realized that there is no widescreen version. This is almost unheard of for the DVD medium. I can't think of a single movie I own that isn't widescreen (or any movie at all that isn't at least available in both formats). If Fullscreen doesn't bother you, you won't have any problem with this DVD, as the movie is really good. If you're like me however, you'll be disappointed when you realize that there is no Widescreen translation of this DVD yet.
At least it was cheap.
Movie Review: an excellent way to determine value of reviews
Summary: 1 Stars
This is schlock at its very worst. This film has one useful attribute. Don't ever watch it, BUT write down every reviewer who gives it more than one star (except the single reviewer who gave it two because it was a soporific), and then you will have a list of "positive reviews" which you can check to find films that you should never, ever, buy or even rent--no matter how cheap. This is one of the worst films ever made. I note that over time only 1 in 10 people found this review useful..Do I need to actually say that this is pitful, amaturish, supercilious tripe? Either I do OR the people who are buying movies at Amazon have IQs under 100....Movie Review: If you like slapstick humor, you'll love this film
Summary: 1 Stars
While the premise of the story - a group of childhood friends called back to experience the last year of their old summer camp - could have had a lot of potential, the movie repeatedly resorts to slapstick humor to carry you from scene to scene, as past and present interpersonal conflicts and relationships are clumsily explored, and trivial and childish behaviors are re-enacted, with the apparent expectation that the audience should remain interested. I gritted my teeth, but I have to admit that after an hour, I could no longer take it.
