It's been 20 years since they met in their high school drama club, but the teenage romances, egos and quarrels are lying just beneath the surface waiting to show themselves once again. In a twisted maze of ex-lovers, old grudges and new spouses, friends are thrown down a rabbit hole of bad, alcohol-fueled decisions.

Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times Like "The Big Chill" and "Peter's Friends" but without a single character you'd want to spend five minutes with, let alone a weekend, "The Drama Club" makes for a crassly unpleasant ensemble piece. Nov 10, 2016 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Your fairly typical ensemble piece. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 6, 2020 Full Review Anthony Ray Bench Film Threat Despite its very minor flaws, this film was quite enjoyable, and I'll be strongly recommending it to just about everyone I know. Rated: 8/10 Jun 8, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member With films like The Drama Club it all comes down to a couple of things, the acting of the characters, and the dialogue we hear and with both of those points, The Drama Club hits them perfectly with a great script by Joe McClean and the performances of the cast. I could so easily go into some of my favourite lines, and favourite scenes from the film (and there are a lot), however I hate giving away the charms of the films I watch, I had no idea where the story would lead, so why on earth would I tip you off. But its The Drama Club, so whilst the comedy I thought was a real breathe of fresh air. You just know that behind all the fun and games. There is drama to be witnessed and its pure real life drama. For fans of films such as Steel Magnolias, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, and The Big Chill, then The Drama Club will definitely be a film you'll adore and laugh along with. Although the only warning I will give you is that whilst the film is a huge amount of fun, theres also the risk that some scenes will make you a bit uncomfortable and if you watch this film with your partner, then there might be the odd ‘erm what would you do in that situation' type conversation' Those type of conversations can be pretty awkward. So be warned!! Theres no need for CGI, explosions, bullets flying or a $250 Million dollar budget when you put a great writer like Joe McClean together with a bunch of talented actors Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
