BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

ambrcornelio As described with the summary above, this review gave question upon question. The film starts out as quiet, scientific college graduate Preston isn't walking the stage for his university's graduation. He sits in a lab (which by coincidence, is open, and there just HAPPENS to be a full bottle of whiskey) and drinks out of a beaker along with his sorrows. His professor comes in and pours out such adoration towards this bum, and says how great he was. Super cliché, no one really cares. He ends up going to this party and meets this girl, and they go to the bathroom together, super sketchy. Ends up escaping, and then she basically cons him into driving her down to an island where her family resides along with the hotel they own.Super sketchy, asking some random guy that just rescued you from a bathroom to drive you home, but it's indie Hollywood, we'll forget it. Preston and Kate (the terribly clingy girl) meet her parents, and shortly Preston meets this guy who turns out to be Kate's grandfather. Later at dinner that evening, Preston drops the bomb of how he met him, and the mother and Kate go crazy, leaving Preston misunderstood. Poor guy, no one told him ANYTHING, and the grandfather was a heck of a lot more understanding and kind then the crazy parents.Long story short, there was a case claiming the grandfather raped his granddaughter, Kate, and it was entirely untrue. The mother made it up so she could get land to have their hotel on, totally ridiculous and crazy. Preston finds this out, and then Kate goes all crazy for him seeing him various times in this however long period. The grandfather commits suicide in the lobby of the hotel, and the mother claims she did what she could to "protect her daughter".This movie was terrible, too. It had super dark points that lead no where, and the characters were too crazy and didn't add up to anything in the plot. Preston was too gentle to be around these people, and the mother was a whole other movie that could've been made and would've sucked. There was no plot, no point, and nothing made sense.

Troye Dchgl The Diary of Preston Plummer was set on an island of great scenery and filled with the beauty of nature, gradually inserting elements of crime into what starts as a drama or romance.Preston has just graduated high school, and meets Kate in a party. He takes her home and she asks for a favor - to drive her back home where her parents' hotel are - which he accepts. The true greatness of the countryside sets in, and at the same time we learn about Kate's family and her grandpa. Grandpa meets Preston, talks without making much sense, fills the conversation with seemingly inexplicable riddles and a plethora of unanswered questions. The story begins as develop, as both the romance and the secrets in this family are revealed. Preston becomes determined to look for the truth, and things come to a conclusion as the matters are settled.This is an above average drama and delivers viewers a satisfying experience throughout. It is a love story, but one that has deeper layers, one that digs deeper into family secrets, which soon incorporate into the romantic relationship going on between the two young lovers. It is engaging enough to keep the audience attentive and entertained for a relatively short span of 80 minutes. But it is effective in bringing about its messages about greed and family relationships. On top of that, it is an unusual love story set in a different environment, which is refreshing with comforting music and the bless of nature.

dantes15 An Excellent film! The Diary of Preston Plummer is very thoughtful and engaging movie that allows the viewer to enter into the complicated worlds of its characters. The movie drew me into that world from its opening scene and I found myself more and more curious about their lives as the movie progressed. Ultimately there is a parallel with the journey of discovery and decision that the chief characters encounter with the journey that we all take in our lives. How do we reconcile our past? Do we take the chances that the moment presents to us? Do we follow our rational or emotional side? Can time answer many questions that our intellect flounders at? These themes are raised with an elegant plot and translated with superb acting. Dr. Ackerman's (the director) cinematography is exquisite with an eye for framing scenes and long-shots that bears some comparison to Terrence Malick's works. Dr. Ackerman has a keen eye for observation and sense of feeling, and although he does a phenomenal job of capturing and conveying the subtle transition of land, ocean and sky in the outdoor shots of the marshes, shores, clouds and Sunsets of Florida (I honestly felt I was watching an episode of the BBC's Planet Earth), what is more exquisite is that these scenes speak a narrative of beauty that gives voice and credence to one of the character's visions of this land. In an age where an average indie movies cost millions, it is true genius to make this movie on a budget of (merely) $125,000. Bravo to Dr. Ackerman for his vision and for his artistic integrity. I look forward to his next film.

mhodonnell I was very pleased and impressed by this movie - made on a shoestring budget, it had all the elements that so many "major" movies lack: a good story line, strong filmography, unexpectedly solid acting. I would strongly recommend this. The backstory on the movie's writer, director and producer is almost as interesting -- he's currently a resident physician completing his training in child psychiatry in Burlington, Vermont. One can see why he was attracted to psychiatry, or perhaps it was his training in that discipline that allowed him to explore the nuances of relationships so well in this movie. I am hoping he continues his creative career even as he practices his profession.
