Editorial Review:
If you liked ROMY AND MICHELE'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION and GROSSE POINTE BLANK, you'll love the hip, sexy comedy SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE! Join Hollywood favorite David Schwimmer (SIX DAYS, SEVEN NIGHTS, TV's FRIENDS) and an all-star cast for the most outrageously funny high school reunion ever. Teri Hatcher, Lara Flynn Boyle, Marisa Tomei, Molly Ringwald, and Liev Schreiber play a cast of comical classmates out for lots of laughs and in for some wild surprises. Whether searching for a mate, plotting a practical joke, or showing off for the crowd ... they'll never forget this one crazy night, and neither will you!
Description of Since You've Been Gone:
This is a high school reunion from hell. The geeks, the jocks, the disillusioned, the pretentious, the pretenders, and the precious all gather for a 10-year reunion. There also seems to be a couple of criminally insane alumni, but we are meant to regard them with amusement.
First-time director David Schwimmer brings nothing new to the table, as the jokes are patently obvious, crude, and rather nasty. The characters are little better than stereotypes and caricatures. The only positive aspect of this flick is an interesting cast. Expect intriguing cameos from Marisa Tomei, Liev Schreiber, Molly Ringwald, and even Jerry Springer. --Rochelle O'Gorman
Since You've Been Gone Reviews:
Catches the spirit of a real reunion 
2006-07-19 - I have liked this film for years. While it's not a great film, it catches, and sometimes spoofs every reunion that you've been to. The guy living on past glories, the faded beauties, the nerd making it good, and the slick con artist. Laura Flynn Boyle is great, and I love the dark humor of her character.
Worth one viewing... 
2006-03-28 - This movie is really pretty corny, and I'm not up for over-the-top humour...but if you are then maybe you'll like this movie more. Some parts are too expected, others are just plain crazy, but it's entertaining enough to watch once.
Since you've been gone
2006-02-24 - I like watching this movie--even though it's not as funny throughout the entire movie as the trailers would indicate.
You deserve good things! 
2005-02-06 - Hilarious! This is a great high school reunion film with dark comedy. I thought David Schwimmer did a great job with it. I've shown this film to several friends, promising them they'd enjoy it. No one I know had heard of it, but everyone I've shown the film to enjoyed it. You have to pay attention throughout the film; there's laughs in alot of little details. If you don't, you'll miss them. I've shown it to several different people, so I've seen it several times~ but I never get tired of it.
If you like the type of humor in Drop Dead Gorgeous and Lucky Numbers, you'll enjoy this film. You won't be disappointed.
DDowns Rocks Da House! 
2003-11-07 - This movie is pretty funny. There are some cute little gags, but the best part of the whole movie is definitely the hotel front desk clerk, who is played by David Downs. He's hilarious! He has a lot of great facial expressions, and even though he doesn't have any lines, you know that there's a lot going on with him. He has Treplev eyes, for sure. He's one actor I'll definitely keep my eye on in the future!
