Thirty is "The New Twenty" in Chris Mason Johnson's engaging film that centers on a group of college friends who remain close as they make their way in Manhattan. The ensemble performances are on the money, and the members of this multiethnic, sexually diverse group are credibly comfortable with one another. (Kevin Thomas, May 15) (1:32) Unrated.

I saw this film while in LA at Outfest. Very engaging story of a group of friends and their day-to-day life. Reminded me of many French flicks I have seen & loved. Great music. Great editing - not in-you-face-fast as most American movies. Hard to believe this is Chris Johnson's first film - his techniques are more honed than many experienced directors. Go see it!

I saw this film at Outfest and highly recommend it. The title makes it sound glib perhaps - but it is a really deep and subtle story with strong characters and nuanced relationships. And it shows something I've never seen in an American movie - or any movie, come to think of it - close friendships between gay and straight young men that don't devolve into the usual cliche. This director is someone to watch. Also, Nicole Bilderback is genius in this. She was "Whitney" in BRING IT ON.
