Movie Review: "Me & You, Us, Forever"

Synopsis: After his divorce, Dave is heartbroken...until he remembers Mary, his high school sweetheart, who he broke things off with thirty years ago, which he seriously regrets now.  He decides to fly to New York to visit her, against the wishes of his friends--co-worker Paul, secretary Sue, and new friend and fellow divorcée Carla--who warn him that he shouldn't be visiting someone else's wife, even if they were an item back in the day.  Will Dave succeed in meeting his old flame? If he does, what will she say?
Based on a true story.

The Good: In this social media generation, this actually makes a great point: Reconnecting with old flames when they and/or you are married is a bad idea! Dave's friends actually give him wise counsel; something we need more of in this time of tawdry affairs and rampant adultery.

The Bad: If only he followed it.  If Dave is based on a real person, I hope I never meet him; his interaction with Mary comes off as creepy and disturbing.  You wonder why Mary didn't just ask him to leave, or why she even invited him in while her husband was apparently out of the house.  I can imagine those who make fun of Christian movies would have a field day with this.

Conclusion: Despite the drubbing it tends to get, I'm a fan of the Christian film genre.  When done right--Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie, Do You Believe?, Courageous, etc.--it can be a treat.  However, sometimes, the filmmakers, despite their best efforts, get it wrong; such was the case with Hollow, The List, and especially C Me Dance, by far the worst movie I've ever seen within the genre.  Me & You, Us, Forever doesn't rob that flick of its title...but, it's still pretty dreadful.  This may be a true story, but, it's not one that needs to be told.  Fans of "inspirational" movies can do better...much better!

Score: 1.5/5
