Get Big

☆☆

+
Based on true events, "Get Big" tells the story of two high school friends getting back to together after graduation to attend a friend's wedding.
-
The movie selection has been somewhat bleak this season, and that may be how this film got into major theaters.
It's not a bad movie. It feels like a B movie...when considering the screenplay and acting.
