Neither the script's up-to-the-minute signifiers nor its cheekily self-aware humor can entirely dispel a formulaic feel. Full Review

Rating: 1.5/4 -- Most of the characters are superficial and underdeveloped, while the film itself is filled with predictable scenarios. Strong performances by the cast elevate the material, but it's simply not enough. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- The intelligence and unhackneyed humor of the believable, unself-conscious screenplay by fledgling director Mr. Zwick (son of veteran director Edward Zwick) deserves special praise. It never hits a false note. Full Review

Rating: 4.9/10 -- Ultimately, the portrayals in About Alex are all caricatures that don't really ring true. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- I was pleasantly surprised by much of "About Alex," a film that features a stronger-than-average ensemble for this subgenre even if it too often succumbs to predictable, traditional turns of Screenwriting 101. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Only Plaza's performance as the troubled Sarah comes close to creating a three-dimensional character.

Product Description:

A group of twentysomethings who were college friends come together for a long weekend after one of them suffers a breakdown and attempts suicide, but their reunion takes a dark turn as old resentments and relationship issues bubble to the surface during the drug-and-booze-filled getaway.
