About this movie

Overeducated and underemployed, 28 year old Megan (Keira Knightley) is in the throes of a quarterlife crisis. Squarely into adulthood with no career prospects, no particular motivation to think about her future and no one to relate to, Megan is comfortable lagging a few steps behind – while her friends check off milestones and celebrate their new grown-up status. When her high-school sweetheart (Mark Webber) proposes, Megan panics and– given an unexpected opportunity to escape for a week – hides out in the home of her new friend, 16-year old Annika (Chloë Grace Moretz) and Annika’s world-weary single dad Craig (Sam Rockwell).

I keep watching it over and over. I made the mistake of only renting it and not buying it. Kicking myself on that one as this is a movie you should probably own. Characters you can relate to, very much so. K.K.'s accent is a little awkward at times, but it doesn't detract from the movie, although I do kind of wished she had slightly better wardrobe throughout most the movie. Aesthetically it clashed very badly and that is the only negative glaring issue with this movie. 5 out of five. Wish I had just bought it.

The tone was a mix of humor and realism. I normally don't like movies with romantic subplots but this was pretty entertaining. Good acting all around, especially from the two leading ladies. A bit cheesey at the end, though, without giving too much away. Good movie, not great.

The general message and tone behind the film is good, and the characters are likable yet human and realistically flawed. But there were just really implausible things happening and the end could have been wrapped up more thoughtfully, seemed hurried or not quite thought out (yeah sure, just elbow that other girl out of her prom date!) ...could have been better in someone else's hands I think.
