Customer Reviews
If you like to go to weddings of humdrum people you don't know, you won't want to miss Indian Summer!
The title of my review is an actual quote from NY Times movie critic Vincent Canby. That quote makes me laugh every time I see it, which is more than I can say for Indiant Summer.
My friends and I watched the movie, knowing full well that it would be godawful. Within the first 20 minutes of the movie, we found our prejudices about the film validated. This is a bland movie with generic actors and terrible comedy. Watching this movie in the hopes of being entertained is like eating cake in the hopes of losing weight. The only entertainment we derived from this movie was our own comments about how mediocre Indian Summer truly was.
Just look at the cover and you'll get an idea of how boring and average this movie is. In fact, you can tell that the characters on the front cover were Photoshop'd into the canoe.
Simple and touching
I think this is an awesome movie. There is nothing big happening its just simple, warm and there in lies it beauty.
You heart reaches out to each character. They are all real and do gooders. Takes you into this world where everything casts a soft spell on you.
I definitely recommend this one!
If you like slapstick humor, you'll love this film
While the premise of the story - a group of childhood friends called back to experience the last year of their old summer camp - could have had a lot of potential, the movie repeatedly resorts to slapstick humor to carry you from scene to scene, as past and present interpersonal conflicts and relationships are clumsily explored, and trivial and childish behaviors are re-enacted, with the apparent expectation that the audience should remain interested. I gritted my teeth, but I have to admit that after an hour, I could no longer take it.
Agh. Horrible! Wasted my time...
I would've turned it off if I didn't promise my wife I'd watch it with her.
A story about adults who go back to summer camp 25 years later... who does this?
Aside from the unrealistic story line, there are several sub-plots of the 7 or so adults who are dealing with their pasts from 25 years ago, and with their present.
Its jumpy, sporadic, very mildly funny and just about annoying.
Not worth buying let along renting.
F-
Excellent film, great cast!
I absolutely loved every minute of this film ?. I rented it because I adore Diane Lane, but ended up being a fan of many of the other characters too :) It felt REAL. And about things that people their age really go through.
I highly highly recommend this movie. It is a kick-back, pop the popcorn and get ready to thoroughly enjoy this laid back but meaningful movie about some friendships, loves and just life as many of us know it ?
