A heated disagreement causes the main character in my short film “Abyss” to practically lose the one and only person who appears to be on his side. It is a reminder of how relationships are sometimes ruined due to small gestures blown out of proportion. Such a huge turning point offers up a new theme for this week’s Monday Movie Meme: Between Friends.
Share on your blog or in the comments section, movies featuring scenes where best friends are torn apart after they end up on opposing sides of an issue. Remember to link back to this post and visit the blogs of fellow Monday Movie Meme participants. Here are my selections for this week’s Between Friends theme.
Dilemma
In this comedy starring Vince Vaughn and Kevin James as best buds, a friendship is never the same again when one guy reveals an extramarital affair. You’d think anyone would be grateful to know he or she has a friend who is honest enough to share what’s going on with a cheating spouse. I guess some things are better left untold – at least, if you want to remain friends with someone who is directing his anger in the wrong direction.
You Got Served
R&B crooners Marques Houston and Omarion star in this dance-drama flick where an entire crew of friends split, when one ringleader questions the loyalty of another. A violent attack during one drug deal gone bad causes two best friends to suddenly become enemies. Everyone left in the aftermath is forced to choose who they will associate with since one friend refuses to hang with anyone who is cool with his former BFF.
