"Nesting" is a sitcom, but a really slow and dull one that barely grinds out 22 minutes' worth of plot to fill a 90-minute hole. Go to Full Review

"Nesting" deals with an evergreen question, grappling with aging, maturity, responsibility. Unfortunately, the person doing that grappling is so lax he doesn't seem worth knowing. Go to Full Review

A bittersweet, fitfully engaging film which benefits from appealing leads and an original focus, Nesting ultimately doesn't elicit a deep enough audience identification to rise above the level of bohemian curio. Go to Full Review

09/21/2015 Just a really nice movie - it doesn't try too hard (Tom Long seems to be confused in thinking he is writing Oscar/BAFTA reviews - and wants to take this chance to convince us all how clever and critical he can be). Nesting is a well written, certainly well acted, date night movie that works well for both genders (win in my book). The soundtrack could use a little bit more edge but ehh - it's a date movie. It lacks all of the awful dialog flaws this movie would have if it was made in 2015 - it does not bludgeon the audience over and over with the writer's concepts of 'oh hes so clueless, shes so neurotic' sort of scripting nonsense that plagues every other date film we see. Any other director would have cast Jennifer Aniston, the script would feel so forced and singular in direction, and it would be god awful. I love that all of the characters are believable as people, real people. Most of Hollywood couldn't pull off this one simple feat - so kudos to John Chuldenko. It's just a nice watch - with no drawbacks, no force fed one liners. That certainly works for me. See more 09/01/2014 This movie is so bad I just created an account with Rotten Tomatoes to review it. The only reason why I skipped through parts of the movie was to see how bad the acting was, particularly the female whom they should never have casted. They are both terrible actors, boring on screen even during their "fun loving romantic scenes" and have absolutely no on screen chemistry. If the storyline had any hope it has been completely squandered by the casting, so I wont comment on from what I can gather is a pretty lame plot. See more 08/23/2014 This was a terribly slow moving story. Everything works out in the end for our leading couple, but after all if their illegal escapades it feels like a weak ending with no point. See more 04/09/2014 Bad acting, cheesy.... ended this one early See more 02/04/2014 Cute feel good indie flick with a great soundtrack too (found myself shazaming every song!) See more 01/30/2014 It's the type of movie you must go into with low expectations and just sit back and enjoy it. There was some good laughs and even though I felt the script was really weak, I think the actors did the best they could with what they had to work with. See more Read all reviews
