Info

Overeducated and underemployed, 28 year old Megan 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 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 and Annika's world-weary single dad Craig.

Laggies Audience Reviews

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
arjunflamingfeather Found this movie entertaining and absorbing. Keira Knightley who stands through as an important carer giver and taker; is like an imaginary sister. The picture is a source to understand that 'life is not perfect'; with ups and downs in relationships which are essentially by blood. The father and daughter; Keira and father. The mother and child; Keira and mother are both relationships where meaning can and is derived; watch out for life and death under the visual stimulus. Visual treats are Keira herself with hands by side of a teenager who she meets. The methods to instill justice over the whereabouts of life could be claimed as a plot narrative. In the end an appreciation of circumstances are found or not meant literally by Hollywood; is the Indian appreciation of this movie. Letting nothing go to dumpsters: life consisting of food, shelter and clothing suits us well through the movie screening. Terrific visual movie with suitable buddies.
krocheav Yet another so-called 'warm and tender' love story written by, and for, trendy young mods who seem to know very little about the subject of "love". Even the title given to this story is as fake as any notions the writer offers on how to make a 'loving-commitment'. "Lacking" may have been a more apt title. In Britain, they changed the title to "Say When" (an equally non-event title).Peppered with schoolyard type vulgar language this movie tries to convince us that a 28yr old young woman who's about to get married to her long time lover - would step out of her friends wedding reception for a little fresh air, tell her fiancé she'll be back in a moment, then picks up with a bunch of teens off the street, buys them booze, get tanked, hangs out with them, and decides she will go home with one of the teenage girls for a sleep over - it's here she gets caught out by the girls 35-40yr old father...If you need any help to guess the rest then this could be the movie for you... Not sure why British Keira Knightley was cast as Meagan the 28yr old American but imagine it has something to do with marketing. Cast wise, Chloe Grace Moretz comes off best as Annika the teenage daughter living with her dad, who is troubled by her mothers walk-out on her family - although this theme could have had promise it's explored somewhat superficially, as with most of the sociological aspects within this at times, trite script. Sam Rockwell as Annika's dad lays on the 'I'm-a-super-cool-sorta-guy' mannerisms to a point of irritation. This style of movie has become so predictably a 'Sundance-indi' type production-that some just may prefer to leave the room.Some of the songs and music by Benjamin Gibbard offer interest, especially his song "It's Never Too Late". Much else points to a case of Arrested Development and while it will appeal to certain teen audiences, makes you wish Hollywood's new league (in this case mostly women) would dedicate just a little more time to growing up.
kosmasp My summary line is actually the title this movie got in Germany. Keira Knightley, Chloe and Sam Rockwell are phenomenal in this. Even if you feel like this is lagging (no pun intended) in some respects, they make up for it. And there are moments that feel like they are dragging, but Keiras character is always accessible, even if you don't agree with the things she's doing.If you come to accept her and her flaws and many faults (speaking about the character), you'll be able to enjoy this for what it is. A chance encounter leads to a lot of things that could have been avoided. Lies and schemes, with the goal to find one self. Will it be successful? And where will it take all those involved? Should you be allowed to "reboot"? There's a lot going on here, but everything is kept in a light mood most of the time. A good romantic little drama
phd_travel There is a winning quality to this romantic comedy about a girl in her 20s (Knightley) in a bit of a mid 20s crisis after being proposed to by her boyfriend. She befriends a teenage girl (Moretz) and her divorced father (Rockwell). It starts off a bit slow but then you realize gradually the characters are all quite likable even when they are doing something wrong. This understated treatment of the more serious moments makes it more effective especially the visit to the mother (Mol). Avoids melodrama which would have spoilt the tone of the movie.Keira Knightley makes her 20s finding herself girl surprisingly sympathetic and identifiable. Throughout her mistakes you still root for her. Chloe Grace Moretz is a standout as always. She gives a sensitive performance and doesn't overact. Amidst all the recent movies a likable teenager character on film is kind of rare. Sam Rockwell plays the father quite charmingly.Overall one the better indie rom coms of late and worth a watch.
