Despite the fact that his character (“Michael”) is really quite irritating, Michael Lovan delivers the role really quite skilfully here as he sets off on a road trip with his reluctant friend “Josh” (Josh Watson) for a reunion with college friends they haven’t seen for years. It is clear from the start that there is some baggage here, with the latter man more reserved whilst his floppy-haired companion prattles on relentlessly to the point where an ejector seat might prove an essential at the car hire company. Their meeting with one of their erstwhile friends and her new husband goes particularly badly then a bid of shocking news upsets their apple cart well and truly. Thing is. Can they salvage anything? Is there actually anything worth salvaging? Well the short answer would have to be no, not really. The plot is undercooked right from the start, the nature of their relationship completely lacks context or plausibility and there’s precious little chemistry on offer between two men whom you’d have to reckon would never be each other’s “type” on a desert island. The production can’t have had much of a budget but that’s not really an excuse for the mediocre and uninspiring standard of the dialogue though it might explain why the denouement is rushed, incomplete and certainly not interesting enough to merit “A Reunion II”. Average all round, sorry.
