      Audience Member The movie kinda sucked . The cousin constantly going to the theatre to play the claw game may have been the dumbest part 1.2. Also the girl upset about him not going thru with cooking while saying he’s so good at cooking, based on what ? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/18/21 Full Review michael t This is a quirky character piece. The leads are appealing and despite the awkward way their relationship advances you are routing for them. There are enough twists and turns to keep you interested. It doesn't tie it up neatly at the end, but leaves it to your imagination. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I have to say this was one of the worst films I have seen, a very poor script and predictable storyline. I got such a shock to see Freddie Highmore in this badly written film, he is so much better an actor and should have said No, it's not as if he needed the money. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Charming indie film! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review lucero k A cute and adorable little film! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Solid rom-com that was kind of predicable but had some sparks for what I would call a teen film. This film will have you rooting for the underdog. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle [The film] has an easygoing charm that should earn it a solid place among the subset of movies about young people who emerge from their small-town cocoons and screw up their courage to take flight for the bright lights of New York City. Nov 21, 2017 Full Review Sheri Linden Hollywood Reporter A comic drama that's sometimes appealingly gentle but more often frustratingly amorphous. Nov 18, 2017 Full Review Daniel M. Kimmel North Shore Movies You can see where this is going from a mile away. What makes it a pleasant film to watch (and it's out now "On Demand") are the leads. Rated: 3/5 Nov 23, 2017 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue The two stars develop an offbeat chemistry, although the screenplay pushes an abundance of cutesy contrivances to muddle the emotional payoff. Nov 18, 2017 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Just what we need right now: a comedy about a stalker! Thank you, Jake Goldberger, an auteur for our times. Nov 17, 2017 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com There's gentleness to the effort that's appealing, but it doesn't last long enough. Rated: C Nov 15, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
