Since You've Been Gone (1998)
Slow and pointless
High school reunions can be pointless and painful, that pretty much describes watching this movie. What were these actors thinking when they made this film? The jokes are boring and stale, the story line is stale and sophomoric, and the situations are uninteresting.
David Schwimmer directed and starred in this flounder and couldn't have been more predictable as the smarmy class president. The characters are unlikable and annoying. It's an absolute waste of such well-known stars as Teri Hatcher, Lara Flynn Boyle, David Schwimmer, Jon Stewart, Marisa Tomei, Molly Ringwald, Jerry Springer, etc.
The only highlights I found were Joey Slotnick's character singing his new hit song; very poignant moment and Grace (Lara Flynn Boyle). Grace is viciously hysterical. Her dry calmness as she calls the babysitter with a death threat simply to get rid of an annoying couple is sinister.
