This is an insufferable movie that telegraphs everything from its opening minutes, and does nothing to elevate the genre or even tell an interesting story.

Sex and swearing notwithstanding, the movie plays like an ultra-lightweight sitcom pilot, with Allison Miller and James Wolk as the adorably embattled soul mates who flirt and squabble and second-guess each other and themselves.

Jason Ritter's the best thing about the film, genuinely funny as a vapid but well-meaning fool-actor. His hysterically crying, post-sex monologues are hilarious.

Catherine's journey towards acknowledging she's no better than any of the people she silently screams at in frustrated rage becomes a pit of quicksand.

| Original Score: D+ | Feb 26, 2016

Listless romcom has flat characters, drinking.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 24, 2014

Just like its lead character, the film can't decide what it wants to be when it grows up.

| Original Score: 3.8/10 | Nov 21, 2014

The film uses its setting as lazy shorthand: for the nostalgia of lost childhood, the virtues of independence, and the spiritual purity of acoustic rock.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 17, 2014

Even by its genre's comfort-food standards, this movie feels blandly circumscribed, almost child-proofed, as if any sharper reality or wit might be harmful to the intended audience.

Unfortunately, Merson clutters her sometimes soulful, sensitive story with too many formulaic contrivances to impede Catherine's personal and professional progress.

This is a movie that runs on magical thinking.

Another week, another benign rock and roll romance.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 12, 2014

Any film justifies its existence when it gives Katey Sagal a chance to sing.

| Nov 11, 2014

The filmmakers play Catherine's disgustingly narcissistic sense of entitlement as endemic to the supposedly girl-next-door charms befitting the film's thoroughly normative gender politics.
