Really? The movie itself is a sweet small indie film. I liked it! But, who came up with the title, and, why? Just a really poor choice. Just my opinion.

As a college student, I can attest to the tonal and plot accuracy this movie achieves. It does that really well, but is the average day to day life of a college student trying to adjust to being away from home, while constantly shooting himself in the foot make for an entertaining movie? No. Is it worth a full length film? Also, no. This would have been a great 45 minute short. But the tedious and awkward, albeit accurate and realistic, dialogue which takes up the vast majority of this movie, runs dry far before the movie ends. I'm sure some people can relate to the movie enough to find this quite enjoyable, but I'm not one of them. Regardless, I think the is a successful debut for Raiff, as far as debuts go.

This is a great debut for the writer/director. Naturalistic, realistic college love story that many people will resonate with. If you like the earlier work of Linklater and Charlie Kaufman, I think you will enjoy this. Don't expect the poetry or beauty of those directors, but you may see similar existential themes from anxious main characters. The acting from Raiff and Landecker was spot on, there are no melodramatic or romance tropes, it's just about young people trying to find their way with several genuinely funny scenes. My criticism was potentially the ending of the film that seemed a bit disjointed and hurried. Interesting to see what Raiff does next.
