An American Reunion (2003)

Let's be realistic.

An absolute waste of money

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I don't about you or anyone else for that matter, but I love making great memories. Whether good or average...we can all make them great with a little positive drama.When I first saw this movie...I was overwhelmed in the end when the friends saved each other, so to speak.The leading men were extremely handsome and the girls were gorgeous. There is a scene in the movie where an actress is sitting on top of the lead male actor (Jim Fitzpatrick) and I started becoming sexually excited...and well...moist.He is so hot! He was on one of stories All My Children. He played Pierce Riley. An artistic guy that lived in a cabin in the woods, and made love to various kinds of beautiful women, like Brooke English.

I cannot believe how unbelievable Jimmy Fitzpatrick was in a scary flic that's coming out next year called The Ranch. I mean SCARY-SCARY, hide your wife and children SCARY.A couple years ago I was invited to go to the Premiere screening of this movie, An American Reunion, which Jimmy wrote, directed and starred in. And Jimmy was stereotypically a quiet, shy and almost humble soap actor that didn't want to create any waves among his old friends, because he felt guilty for leaving them behind. He was believable. He was convincing. But he was almost melancholy, and borderline overly-sensitive. Then I saw a rough cut cut of the Ranch (a VHS third generation Editor's copy).Oh-My-God! Jimmy Fitz is a freak. There's no doubt in my mind that he can play-act with the best of them. He reminded me, of DeNiro's character in Cape fear. Evil, but charismatic. Sick but interesting. If I never see him in anything else, I will always have that gross looking long-gray-haired-killer-psychopath, stuck in my head forever. Dirty face and all. A long way from the polished, sensitive 'Pierce Riley' of the soap All My Children.

My boyfriend and I were blown away by this man's humanity and talents in this film. Harold, my Beau, FORCED me to view U.S. Seals, Delta Force lll, ll, and l, and lV, and...so when I saw his favourite actor, Jim Fitzpatrick (IV) was starring in a drama, I made Harry, forced Harry, to watch the film with me. 'American Reunion,' was not only dramatic and heart-warming, it was extremely insightful into dealing with friends that are drug addicts. Which, I have. Sir, we appreciate your honesty in this piece, and we enjoyed your other talents, acting, directing, and so on. Cheers to you and your writing career. We will be viewing other films of yours, whether you are writing them, directing them, or acting in them. And some day I hope to work along side of you.

For those of you who are fans of romance, this story will be every bit as predictable and even more enjoyable than those written in books. The story line is a bit contrived, but I couldn't help falling in love with the characters. Jodi Knotts is great as the yearning ex-girlfriend, now yearning wife, of Jim's character's best friend in the middle of a life that's missed the love of a lifetime. And Jim Fitzpatrick has NEVER looked better than while he is wondering and pondering reclaiming his highschool love that never faded from his memory. A definite chick flick! Great payoff at the end... Ladies, tell me how great Jimmy Fitzpatrick has aged... Dear Lord! ABC was crazy to let this one get away! Fitzpatrick's also quite a writer.
