When I brought "Parallel Lives" a few years ago, I thought it was going to be this good movie. I first saw it a long, long time ago. I was trying to look for the title & found the film.
The film is kind of like "The Big Chill". It turned out not as great as I thought & sold the VHS shortly after I brought it. For me, the film is really forgettable. The basic plot sounded good, but it just didn't hold my interest. Maybe it was the writing that did the 'forgetable' trick. I read that most of the dialogue was improvised.
The plot wasn't that good. It was a reunion of a fraternity & sorority at this particular college. Each character went to the college in different years, of course, which I thought was the problem of the movie. These characters didn't went to college at the same time so they didn't experience the same things together like in "The Big Chill' or "Diner".
Anyway, maybe I'll get interested in Parallel Lives again, but this is what I thought of the film: Good, but forgettable.
