Review of Homecoming

Homecoming (I) (2009)
7/10
it's nothing new and surprising, but it's still a really good movie
13 December 2009
I will start with the plot. Mike was the star quarterback in a blue-collar small town where football is everything. After receiving a scholarship to Northwestern University, he returns home over Christmas break and everyone is surprised to see him with a new girlfriend, Elizabeth, a pretty rich girl from Chicago. No one is more shocked than Mike's homecoming queen ex-girlfriend, Shelby, who desperately wants Elizabeth out of the picture. After a freak car accident leaves an injured Elizabeth at the mercy of Shelby, all hell breaks loose as Shelby does everything it takes to get Mike back.

A Nice build to the main characters, As we get to know characters and you will care for the characters (Well I did) After the good build up to the characters then the movie really gets going and I was total hooked.

I was actually shouting at the movie, I don't remember the last time I shouted at A movie, thats how much I really enjoyed watching this movie.

This movie has some really good scenes and one nasty scene, (some will think it a total ripoff Misery). This scene made me look away.

The acting was great from Main 3, but office Billy Fletcher (You may know as officer Burke from Final Destination 2) his acting was not that good (and is character was pain in the a*s) also the ending, they tried to go for a shocking ending but it didn't work and it just fell flat.

Also Shelby is one hell of an Evil Bitch (Mischa Barton she did outstanding job on this movie). She was great.

This movie will be compared to Mirsey as this could easily be passed as a sequel or even a remake of it.

6/10
