Stay Cool (2009)
7/10
Underrated movie...such a pity!
22 November 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Henry McCarthy(Mark Polish)is a successful author who returns to her hometown to deliver a closing speech to a class of graduating high school students while he has to deal with his former object of love(Winona Ryder)and his past as a nerd in search of himself.How this adorable comedy has fought to find a theatrically release is inexplicable to me.It's a beautiful film with some touching moments and funny situations as well.It is imbued with a sense of nostalgia and regret for the lost occasions but at the same time the lead will be able to come in terms with it and to accept it so he could live his future.I think that "Stay Cool"is a really underrated movie given the usual comedies who tries to portray this kind of topics we always see.Mark Polish is good while Winona Ryder gives a very captivating and genuine performance,although her role is not too demanding.The supporting cast varies from really good(Sean Astin,Josh Holloway,Chevy Chase)to merely ornamental(Hilary Duff who plays a pretty version of herself).My vote of the film is 7/10
