Classy

The best ever movie for me . The idea was clear and unambiguous. They showed up the real feelings to live on in spite losing something worth you had before.

Both of the main actors acted with great touchy instances , Bravo to the William savage . The Spencer Grammar did a fantastic and great job . The guy was too brought up some realistic emotional and his love for his stuffs very deliberation and exquisiteness . It is some sort of sequel of Before Sunset. Tremendous movie and worth watching by far . The plot and the dilemma circumcised is a great fashion . But i want to know where the RACHEL leaving for in the end .

***SOME SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW. DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT PLOT ELEMENTS REVEALED***

This is a slow moving and moody indie in which two damaged people come together and help each other heal.

The film has a couple very likable leads in Spencer Grammar and Josh Pence, and supporting player Nate Corddry. They come across as unaffected young actors who have better films/TV in their futures. The theme offers lots of potential chances for the script to drown in bathos, but wisely steers clear of most, opting for a more realistic examination of what it is like for people dealing with the aftermath of losing a loved one.

Unfortunately the movie trips itself up by forcing pointless stock characters on us, such as the friends of Nate Corddry's character who are there to provide (supposed) comic relief from the sadness surrounding Eric and Rachel. Scripting could have been better also. A side plot involving Eric's brother on his third tour of duty overseas goes nowhere and didn't need to be included. The same holds true for the coincidence of Rachel's father being Eric's new dermatologist; contrived situations like this suit a romcom better than a realistic examination of two grieving people.

My biggest problem with the film is the reveal in the final quarter of the film which I won't give away here, but which changes the entire way we view Eric. It almost sinks the entire movie. While it is successful as a surprising revelation that certain clues may have pointed to, it still destroys sympathy for Eric, and moved my star rating toward a 4.

Professionally done, but a bit schizoid in its approach to the material, In Lieu of Flowers may appeal to some. It's not a bad movie, it just could have been better.

Fake everything

Well to start with, the performances are very bad. I have no idea why Spencer Grammar is an actress as it is appears she has zero acting skills. He face grimaces in this film were so revolting and fake that I wanted to quit watching several times, it literally drove me nuts. I also hated her character from the start, but may be it was Spencer Grammar lack of acting skills that was irritating me big deal. So she just met this guy, literally, for the first time, and she is already lecturing him about smoking? I am a woman myself, but hate this type of pretensions, know it all women. The empty dialogues in the cafe and everywhere else and forced humor added nothing to the story. The healing group scenes were dismal and fake.Too many sad songs. In short, Spencer Grammar has ruined any potential this movie might have had. I have to give a credit to Josh Pence though, his performance was mostly good.
