Ceremony

review by ralphado (USA)

I was fortunate to view a screening of this film last night and I have to say, it was great! This is a coming of age comedy so well balanced it will have you smiling, giggling and laughing throughout. Uma is excellent (as always) and with her Idiosyncrasies, she fits the character of Zoe wonderfully. Michael Angarano is great for these roles and along with Reece Thompson, they were refreshingly original compared to cliché duel characters you see in most comedies. I felt they were more realistic and it made the film that much funnier. From the beginning of the story, with the introduction of Sam and Marshall you will laugh and grow to like them right away! The characters, Whit and Zoe's brother Teddy, are hilarious and you cant help , but to shake your head with giggles when they speak. Max Winkler did a fantastic job in writing and directing this lovable comedy. It is well paced, well cast, sweet and original. I don't want to spoil you with movie details, just don't miss out viewing it. Easily one of this years best comedies.
