Andrea N Obsessed with this movie! Every character is fleshed out and interesting and you have a reason to love and hate all of them. Really entertaining. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/18/22 Full Review dave d A refreshingly honest and authentic film, 'Dramarama' is about some drama kids whose friendships are at a crossroads due to an oncoming thing called college. It's a simple story, wonderfully put together with the nuance to match from newcomer Jonathan Wysocki. Set in 1994 California, the mostly 1st time film actors present as seasoned veterans. The movie has a John Hughes vibe with a queer bend. Very entertaining, this could be any high school in the USA suburbs. There's a scene with a camcorder that brought back memories. Very well styled. The topics discussed are relevant not only to the 90s, but to today. Also, it makes you think about the people anti-gay in the 90s who would be cancelled if there was twitter back then! It's a really good film and can't wait for the next Wysocki movie! Final Score: 8.7/10 Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I totally relate to this movie in so many ways! It's so heartfelt and hilarious! What a "dramedy" should be! I love all these characters! Even the cool guy. (I'm not sure I'm supposed to have empathy for him because he's a bit jerk-ish to the core group of friends, but I do.) When is the sequel or TV series coming out? I want to know what happens to them all! They all felt so much like REAL friends, not fake constructed friends like "90210." Their intense teenage dynamics that can change on a dime; their goofy, impulsive play; their heartbreaks and connections – all so genuinely portrayed and written. All the secrets they hold, and how (and if!) they are revealed to each other, make for good plot twists, surprises, and suspense. Small, wonderful cast – all excellent! It's OK if you don't get all the 90s references – I didn't! Even if I didn't always get them, I was laughing because the cast made the lines so funny. And this dramedy lets you laugh without guilt! There really are no crushing jokes at someone else's expense and the serious scenes don't rob you of the joy you had moments before. This movie will pull at your heartstrings at times, but not in obvious "cue-the-tears" ways, thank goodness. Even though the movie is set in a middle-class suburb, Dramarama captures the uncertainty and excitement of that critical cusp-y time in our lives between adolescence and adulthood that I think is a commonly-shared experience across geographic, ethnic, and economic strata. While the individual details of our personal human development may differ, most of us probably grappled with aspects of our identity, started to question our beliefs and those we were raised with and around, and delighted in the dreams of our future during our "pre-adult" age. Whether you're going through this stage now (or soon!) or you're looking back on it, this movie gives you both levity and perspective on the journey through it. This movie hits every mark! Including a fun soundtrack! Totally worth the watch! (I've watched this movie a few times already!) I'm all, "This movie is so rad!" Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Dramarama is a delight for audiences of all age groups. If you grew up in the 1980s and 1990s you will immensely love all of the clever pop culture references. The introspective qualities of Gene the main protagonist, are akin to those of Angela Chase in "My So-Called Life" or Kevin Arnold in "The Wonder Years." Even if you did not come of age during this time period the film captures the awkward, messy, and complex elements of friendship that are a part of adolescence regardless of the time period one came of age in. A stellar performance all around by a superb ensemble of young people who strike the perfect balance of both serious and comedic acting. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie feels like a homage to all of the theater kids and art students of the world. If you didn't roll with all of the 'popular' kids that were peaking in high school, this movie will speak to your soul. If you were obsessed with theater and music growing up, this movie is in your native language. I can't say enough about how much this movie hit home. It sucked me in so well, I didn't even feel my body or my surrounding world until I was knee deep into the credits. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Easy watch with above average dialogue 2.8/5. It feels silly to say there was too much drama in a movie called dramarama Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/02/21 Full Review Read all reviews
