Relentlessly shallow.

Standing Still wants to be an honest, earnest look at the difficulties of growing up and moving on, but it remains stuck in such a fantasy-laden milieu that the characters never feel particularly real, and their problems seem phony and arbitrary.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 21, 2006

Despite the best efforts of its energetic young ensemble, this soft focus romantic comedy cries out for a sharper edge.
