    I liked it a lot. It was funny and genuine type of movie. Good grroup of actors with a good story. Don't know why the critics didn't.

    it is tried to build up a complex relationship between several characters, but in fact it is quite clear what happens... nevertheless, not a bad movie which deals with people in the mid-20s who have to take the next step in life. the characters seem to be made artificially for a ...( read more)kind of uniqueness; best example is van der beek... it's a "one time to see and then forget it"-flick

    A funny and touching tale of second chances and life as you move into the next stage of your life, the rest of your life.

    I gave this film half a star more than it really deserved, only because of the cast - I might be biased but I thought they did a great job with the story and script they were given.
    This film left me totally confused about what I thought about it. Sometimes it just felt utterly ...( read more)cheap, using the F word in every other sentance to make it look cool, not to mention some of the jokes were just crude. But then some scenes were so utterly powerful, well acted and truthful that I couldn't help but be won over in some sense. Particularly the truth behind Michael's anger at his dad, and Pocket's and Lana's confrontation. There were parts of the story as well which just felt very false to me, Lana suddenly turning into a lesbian just seemed like a stupid addition to the story - I would have actually enjoyed the storyline if she had woken up and regretted what happened, but it just seemed so crazy that she wakes up with a girl she met the night before and then she's all up for going to London to be with this girl? Plus there was clear evidence that her and Pocket's still had feelings for each other and I just felt it was a cop out to not face it directly, yes the blow out between them was amazing, but their feelings for each other could have had a much bigger impact on the narrative than just one short scene.
    The cast, as already stated, did a good job. I love Colin Hanks, Ethan Embry, Adam Garcia, Xander Berkeley and Amy Adams anyway, and I thought Jon Abrahams was fantastic - so it just makes it that much more of a let down that this film failed to live up to the amazing creation it could have been.

    Nothing extremely interesting happened. It's all been done before.

    Not a memorable movie. I wouldn't watch it again.

    Standing Still is about a bunch of good friends united when one of them is getting married, and they all realize that each other have many things to figure out 4 years after graduating. It's at the point when they realize they are no longer kids, but they are not ready to take th...( read more)e responsibilities that adults need to take. Good message, but some stories were just too stereotypical.

    preuve que la vie peut parfois prendre des tournures étranges
  • June 23, 2008
    Good cast, but a forgettable movie. I could have done without the big childhood trauma reveal.
  • June 16, 2008
    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.
  • May 17, 2008
    Interesting movie... Sometimes funny :)
  • May 14, 2008

    James Van Der Beek is so attractive!
  • December 6, 2007
    Mundane and pretty much pointless little film.
  • December 6, 2007
    Sounded kinda pointless to me actually. It started off well, but I thought the ending was kind of an anti-climax.
  • August 29, 2007
    Absolute shit. This movie sucks my balls.
  • August 12, 2007

  • August 2, 2007
    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.
  • July 29, 2007
    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 t...( read more)he movie. It was nice to watch as I said before but its not what I expected.

    La vi ayer es un poco lenta pero me gusto se deja ver.
  • July 2, 2007
    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.
  • June 30, 2007
    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 o...( read more)f 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.
  • June 30, 2007
    Nice drama movie, a few tears and a few laughs
  • June 28, 2007
    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 f...( read more)unny seeing him do something different.

  • April 21, 2007
    Typical teen movie...nudity, lesbians, prossies, under age sex. Excellent!
  • February 23, 2007
    Mk, maybe its just me, but I think James Van Der Beek is a pretty good actor, so why not?
  • February 8, 2007
    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 an...( read more)d the other, family to a funeral.

  • December 27, 2006
    Could possibly be interesting....
  • December 25, 2006
    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.
  • December 14, 2006
