Critics Consensus

Laggies may not do as much with its ideas as it could, but it's buoyed by a winsome performance from Kiera Knightley, as well as Lynn Shelton's empathetic direction.

Even if the film doesn't leave much to ponder past the closing credits, it's enjoyable while it's unfolding, doing justice to the strengths of Shelton's ever-expanding filmography.

Shelton's comedy isn't just smart, but cheerfully wise; not just funny, but cleverly and endlessly so.

There are light and fluffy pleasures to be had from this disposable rom-com ...

Fits the mold of a teen angst film, except the main character Megan is a clever twenty-something who never completely grew out of her angst.

A nicely polished example of familiarity, genuine with its intentions and generally pleasing.

Whilst we don't go to the movies to make friends, it's hard to relate with these character's mundane existential predicaments from such a distant vantage.

Megan is right on the mark when she says that you cant base your existence on an imaginary future, you have to suck it up and go with your gut almost everyone has been stuck in a rut at some point in their lives they don't want things to move forward or change so much that they've lost sight of things Keira Knightly and Chloe Moretz are an awesome pair bouncing their lives off of each other; they got their own obstacles blocking their roads to life Sam Rockwell does very well as the father of Moretz, too his job is to break people apart while Megan herself tries not to director Lynn Shelton does a good job addressing growing up and making grown-up decisions, no one stays a kid forever A decade later and this is a cute harmless indie flick

I didn’t enjoy having to turn a blind eye to the protagonist’s intrusion into the privacy of adolescence, even though she did ultimately grow into a semi-responsible aunty figure. But I did want to see what Knightly and Rockwell could do together, and their performances were super engaging. Yes, the ethics were flawed and kept me at arm’s length throughout, but if you’re a Rockwell fan you might enjoy watching him once again turn lead into gold.

Una película romántica diferente que va mas allá de la típica "chica conoce chico y se enamora" sino que además toca temas bastante diferentes como el concepto de la adultez, la presión social sobre la madurez, la zona de confort de lo conocido o como a veces para avanzar hay que dejar ir. Les salió bien, me gusto.

This premise should not work but between the cast and a fun script it does.

Laggies is an okay film. It is about Megan who panics when her boyfriend proposes. Keira Knightley and Chloe Grace Moretz give decent performances. The script is a little slow in places. Lynn Shelton did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the humor and drama.
