The Wood

The Wood is fair buddy movie. It is about three long-time friends, Mike, Roland, & Slim, reminiscing about their younger days to help deal with Roland's wedding day cold-feet. The Wood serves up a good amount of funny, an acceptable amount of foul language, and a great amount of heart. However, it is jam packed with an excessive amount of flashbacks. The movie spent so much time in the past that it was hard to get invested in the adult versions of the main characters. For the most part, the flashbacks were cute, full of adolescent madness including the ever popular how are we gonna get laid bet, and had a very 80s feel to them but the sheer volume of the flashbacks weighed the movie down. This movie does an adequate job of placing itself within the myriad of other films that are essentially just like it, except in this one you get to see Taye Diggs naked behind. Overall, The Wood is not a bad film.
