I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This is a small story about humane drama and emotion. Nothing special, I still enjoyed a few moments enough to actually end up liking this movie as one-time Saturday night entertainment.
Virginia Madsen was the original reason for me to watch the film, but other cast also pulled their weight well enough for this type of movie. Amanda Crew as quirky Bette sparked the whole thing up.
I especially liked how some of the situations in the movie were handled in an honest and open way by the characters, enough to make it feel therapeutic and refreshing. Everyone is sometimes sad, depressed, out-of-sorts. And it´s ok.

This feel good romantic dramedy about "crazy love" is perfect for our time, a time when we all need to lighten up, a time when we all need to be living in the present. Yes, I mean "we all" literally. Amanda Crew is brilliant as Bette, a courageous carefree young lady who attempts the impossible feat of fixing an entire damaged family by having the guts to just be herself and encouraging them to be themselves. You won't regret watching this movie. You will see yourself or a relative or a friend in this movie, and you will be inspired. The one who does not like this movie is the one who is afraid to live in the now, who is afraid to experience love (internally and externally), who is afraid of life. If you are that person, I urge you to watch the film again, and again, and then again.Don't let this one get away!!

Valiant effort. But NO! I was feeling down and wanted to believe in love again, but I found myself yelling at the screen saying NO! at all the unwanted awkward moments & direction flaws! and some script flaws.What got me thru this movie was the cast. And all the other elements of a good film are there, like the soundtrack, great lighting & cinematography etc.Never a dull moment of course with the lovely Virginia Madsen. And Graham Rogers is so cute. Showing great potential. It even managed to capture a bit of an irresistible feeling with Amanda Crew, But her character does many things in the film that make you root against her. Zach Gilford is the cutest nerd ever. The actors just felt misdirected.

This movie is a bit slow but has that great kind of ending that just makes you smile for the rest of the day! The characters are all a tad quirky, somehow the family members all seem to have some type of mental issue one way or another - it definitely reminds me of the majority of families I know. Henry is a brat, his mother is morbidly depressed, his father is a jerk, his brother is a nerd, his pot dealer turned boss is certainly in the right place at the right time and Henrys girlfriend is a free spirit who helps bring them all together. I think the casting person hit the nail on the head with this one. I may be biased , i love a good chick flick! Love, loss of love and the light at the end of the tunnel! Good times!
