This reunion of old college friends gets a leaden treatment in what is effectively a one-act play posing as a film.

Provocative and thoughtful, a movie that can't help but make you take a long look at yourself.
03/05/09
It's a wonder a group of experienced film professionals could not make "Reunion" look and sound the least bit proficient or even entertaining
08/08/09
Filled with psychobabble, it comes across as a muddled melodrama about entitled elitists.
03/10/09
Not so much a Big Chill knockoff as a poor man's Whit Stillman comedy.
03/03/09
Top CriticAs well versed in these characters and their milieu as Hruska may be, their dilemmas seem guessed-at rather than lived.
03/04/09
This may not be quite the moment to solicit our sympathy for self-absorbed beneficiaries of Ivy League privilege.
03/06/09
Top CriticThe characters' narcissism spills over into the audience and rather than sympathize or empathize, your instinct is to protect yourself from them and their mid-life crises.
03/06/09
Despite a terrific cast, it suffers from a lazy and dull screenplay that fails to generate any palpable drama or memorable characters.
03/06/09
Since no one in the cast is a household name, the series of confessions and critiques resemble nothing so much as actors’ auditions.
03/04/09
Top CriticA Big Chill-ish enterprise whose serious intentions aren't enough to compensate for the two-dimensionality of its stock archetypes.
03/06/09
A drearily pretentious, ultra-stagy exercise in middle-age self-loathing.
03/06/09
Top CriticA respectable B-list cast (Cynthia Stevenson, Jessica Hecht, Christopher McDonald) wades through a sludgy script that finds estranged friends reuniting decades after college.
03/06/09
Top CriticThere's not much reason to check out this shameless rip-off of The Big Chill, unless you've never seen the original, and you're inclined to watch a bunch of entitled Ivy Leaguers acting out like spoiled brats in the midst of a midlife crisis.
03/04/09
No one's problems inspire much interest, and the stuffy banality of the dialogue is multiplied by the lackluster surroundings.
