Review of Don's Plum

Don's Plum (2001)
1/10
Amber Benson does it again....
23 April 2002
I had the opportunity of seen this film and i was not really impress by the people that seem to have a big name. Titanic Leonardo Di Caprio and Spider mans Tobby Mcguire. Tobby seem to have a very nice touch with his work, but Leo had lost touch of everything since "The Beach." I was overly impress by the job well done by Amber Benson. This film was all improv....and that is hard to do my friends. She shine trough the black and white of the film and showed human emotions like no one else. It was very refreshing to see her doing something very different from her previous work and it really makes you wish that "Chance" [Ms Benson's movie which she wrote, directed, acted and more] was picked up and release soon.

Over all, i dont recommend seen this movie at all. No plot, no point to it, no nothing. I cold not even say "hey! the filming was kewl" cause it wasn't. I think I have seen better stuff from my friends collection of his uncle pass out after a Xmas party. It was a kewl idea, i guess..alone the lines of Blair Witch project but with a steady cam. It took about 11 month, if im not mistaking, and 11 month of film could not make a movie...makes you wonder. Perhaps it was the editing of it, perhaps was the lack of story, perhaps was the acting...you really don't now who to blame since some, Like Amber Benson, shined trough the film and others, like Leo, fall into the darkness of worst than Middle School acting.

If you are very tempted...rent it and keep your remote near by...you'll need it..believe me. Fast forwards becomes your closest friend ;).
