Floating

This movie included some up and coming talent included the engaging Josh Marchette who makes a small role memorable. I enjoyed the chemistry between the actors and the setting very much.

FLOATING is the dramatic tale of one young man's struggle to overcome the tough hand life has dealt him and about the friends he makes along the way. Well acted by Norman Reedus and Chad Lowe, FLOATING also sports a great soundtrack.

"Floating" tells of a slice in the life of a college age guy (Lowe) who lives with his paraplegic father by a lake and hangs out with two buddies. A good film in most respects, "Floating" has one glaring flaw. It is too uneventful and plays something like: See the boys smoke a "J", see the boys go swimming, see the boys burg a house, see the boys swim some more, see the boys ride motorcycles, see the boys.....etc. At ET0 I found myself wondering when this flick was going to get to the point. At ET0 I realized there was no point. (C)

This was an excellent movie. There was some bad acting but it certainly did not come from Norman Reedus who I hope to see more from soon! This is a movie that makes you long for those great summers when you had nothing to do but be young.

This movie is about as intense as an "after school special". Production values were good, as was the cinematography, but the story and direction are unbearably weak. I heard that this movie was actually produced by underground indie producer Steve Bennett, which is surprising because this isn't his type of movie at all.
