Storyline

This teen/twentysomething drama takes us on the afflicted journey of Ewan McKinnis the greeting card writer, whose true love Charlotte Hart has left him alone with his inability to commit to anything but scotch and pot. Upon receiving an invitation to her wedding mere months later, Ewan returns home for the wedding, bearing the decision of winning her back or letting her go, only to have a sixteen year old Lolita, Amy Collins thrust into his path. Amy has her own heartbreak to cope with, and the two, turning a blind eye under intense scrutinisation, become unlikely allies in their search for some ease and some answers.

Trivia

The director, Jeff Macpherson, didn't know what to name the film. So he decided while out doing karaoke, to name it after one of the pop songs in the karaoke book. He picked the Beatles' hit "Come Together".

User Reviews

A nice and promising first effort.

As an independently-made first feature, "Come Together" is a nice movie with some moments of charm and shows much promise from those involved. Competent video photography and a workable score help give the production a professional feel.

The opening title sequence is unnecessarily complicated. A show-off flourish of image manipulation and graphics distracts from the setup of the story. This attention grabbing stunt seems out of place against the rest of the movie which is shown at a more relaxed and intimate level.

"Come Together" follows Ewan as he prepares to attend the wedding of an ex-girlfriend he is still in love with. Neither he nor the bride and groom seem keen on his attendance but Ewan explains he is looking for closure by attending. The first 20 minutes of the movie are spent establishing Ewan as a bit of a loser and the remaining hour does little to try and discourage this impression. Aside from a few charming moments and a tenderly handled climax, it is mostly a mundane and slow march for Ewan (and the audience) toward the big event that will hopefully provide closure.
