Good characters, nice quotes, plot was not bad. Altogether, however pleasant, the movie is completely forgettable.
Although it was kind of funny to see Dolores Umbridge married to Bertie Wooster.
Very pleasing and touching with nostalgic ties in 1992 and the worries therein.
Seeing this movie one could think one was amongst a group of old friends who are having a reunion - well thats actually what the film is about..

The reason I say this is because as in real life a reunion is mainly full of boring twats waffling on about how good they are & this isn't much different.
There are some funny moments, they are brief & few 'n far between - my advice ***Give it a wide berth*** - unless your a film critic and need something to rubbish, well there's plenty more interesting crap to watch than this dribble...
old friends meeting again after 10 years.

Mostly droll & witty, believable characters but somehow felt lacking - didn't really draw me in but did make me chuckle a couple of times.
witty and entertaining. generally good but leaves the feeling that SUCH cast do not really suit such easy, predictable film...
You know, I liked "Return of the Seacaucus Seven" as much as the next guy - more, probably - but as much as I find reunion movies appealing I wish they weren't quite so formulaic.

(read more) You know, I liked "Return of the Seacaucus Seven" as much as the next guy - more, probably - but as much as I find reunion movies appealing I wish they weren't quite so formulaic. At least here we have a fun cast and characters who seem bemused by how efficiently everyone's lives seem to keep breaking down and rebuilding all over the course of one eventful weekend, but brief reflexivity only compensates for so much.
