Celeste & Jesse Forever


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Tyler

Rashida Jones and Will McCormack have written a film for themselves. Good for them. It wasn't too bad either. And nice to see Andy Samberg in a slightly less comical role.

Now, this film is only 92 mins long but it really feels longer. There are long stretches of ups and downs towards the end that really start to drag. I just wanted the Celeste character to hurry up and reach her inevitable epiphany. But the start was all fine and enjoyable.

They managed to get a good cast of supporting players together. I especially enjoyed Elijah Wood trying desperately and failing to do the typical romantic comedy gay best friend. An unexpected Emma Roberts had a fun character, but one that felt pretty superfluous to the plot. She serves to make one point and not much more. 

This could very well connect with others more than it did with me. I did enjoy it but it's not something I'll feel the need to revisit soon.
