Overview
A man in his mid-20s, still living at home with his mother and stepfather, puts all his eggs in one basket: the girl who works at his local coffee shop. The problem is, she has a serious boyfriend. As they become closer, the line between friendship and intimacy is blurred, and the situation forces both to examine where they are in their lives.
This was a surprisingly charming coming-of-age movie. For a while I thought that the leads may have been miscast because they felt a bit young and overly-cute. But as the film went on I realized that I was wrong about that, and I settled in to an enjoyable movie. They got the ending right, and that means a lot.
