Plot: Elise (Amy Adams) and Michael (Adam Garcia) are the perfect couple who have been dating seemingly forever. Unlike most young couples, they have everything one can wish for - a beautiful house, an upco...( read more read more... )ming wedding, and a crew of close friends, all coming into Los Angeles for the weekend nuptials. As they each arrive at the house, joyous reunions quickly turn into awkward meetings that bring up both sweet and painful memories. Rich (Aaron Stanford) and Samantha (Melissa Sagemiller) are the best man and maid of honor who are also toying with taking the next step towards the altar. Lana (Mena Suvari) is a neurotic actress with an unstable love life. When all the men she's ever slept with, the forlorn Pockets (Jon Abrahams), children's show host Donovan (Ethan Embry), and drunken actor Simon (James Van Der Beek), all show up for the wedding, chaos ensues. Rounding out the group are Quentin (Colin Hanks), a fast-talking agent who falls hard for the bride's sister (Marnette Patterson), Jennifer (Lauren German), the bride's former roommate with a secret, Franklin (Roger Avary), the definition of a wacky Hollywood director, and Jonathan (Xander Berkeley), the groom's long lost father battling addiction, attempting to reenter his son's life.

    This movie has some good moments. The script is very predictable. There are few laughs but I would rate this as a very average movie.

    Sounded kinda pointless to me actually. It started off well, but I thought the ending was kind of an anti-climax.

    This movie was so bad. The cast has a lot of potential, but the script was so bad. The whole movie was so predictable. Kinda entertaining, but still very bad.

    It wasnt exactly what I expected, it was a nice movie to watch, about a bunch of high school friends that come together because of a wedding, they sort out there differnces and there unsolved problems... and what interested me most was the conflict between one of the couples of the movie. It was nice to watch as I said before but its not what I expected.

    Good movie. There were a lot of characters, but they were all pretty likable. It coulda been better though. Lana shouldn't have gone lez. Her and pockets woulda been a good couple.

    Standing Still is a dialogue-driven character piece about way too many twentysomethings' feelings & questionings to cover up in ninety minutes, but it somehow manages to leave an impression. Indeed, despite the fact that the plot really does go nowhere and we've heard this kind of story a bazillion times, director Matthew Cole Weiss and his excellent cast succeed in breathing life into these characters and giving the movie a natural, truthful ring. Nothing exceptional, but worth seing anyway.

    Wasn't bad. I found somethings very good about it. But I felt there were only a few characters that were interesting. Most were the same waste of hollywood cliche' that plags most of our movies. But over all wasn't that bad. Adam garcia was about the best actor in it. James was funny seeing him do something different.

    it was a relatively good movie, reminded me of "Eulogy". both films are similar as they featured a group of people coming together to work out their differences, within them a lesbian couple (in the background) and lots of black comedy. Only diff? One was friends for a wedding and the other, family to a funeral.

    This film tries to be like modern "Big Chill" but in the end it was an average, cliched film. Although, it's all-star young cast are good plus it's watchable and never boring. An okay film but they could have done a bit better.
