Even if the film doesn't leave much to ponder past the closing credits, it's enjoyable while it's unfolding, doing justice to the strengths of Shelton's ever-expanding filmography.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 16, 2016

Shelton's comedy isn't just smart, but cheerfully wise; not just funny, but cleverly and endlessly so.

There are light and fluffy pleasures to be had from this disposable rom-com ...

| Nov 9, 2014

Knightley, it turns out, is a liability.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 7, 2014

A film that takes the directionless slacker character habitually played by Seth Rogen and recasts it as a woman.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 6, 2014

We understand, you're having trouble growing up. Get on with it, and while you're doing so, amuse us. Luckily, the movie does a pretty good job at that while keeping things overly safe for its hapless heroine, Megan, played by Keira Knightley.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 6, 2014

Why? Why? Why inflict on everyone this incredibly unfunny, un-insightful and annoying nonsense?

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 6, 2014

This is the first feature that the talented Lynn Shelton has directed from someone else's script, and it often seems like a premise trying to graduate into an actual story.

| Nov 6, 2014

Despite its pleasant veneer, Laggies is a bit adrift itself. Winning performances keep us engaged -- and a one-sequence appearance by Gretchen Mol as Annika's mother who flew the coop is hauntingly complex.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2014

A familiar story, albeit from a fresh female perspective and enlivened by a fine cast.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 6, 2014

By dint of its on-screen talent, "Laggies" qualifies as a genial, puttering indie with a starrier cast.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 6, 2014

"Laggies" is the kind of indie film that gives the genre a bad name.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 6, 2014

It's not going to change your life, but there's an undeniable old school charm to it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2014

This one's caught between too many stools to thrive.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 6, 2014

In short, it's fun to watch the actors work. But you wish they had material a little stronger to work with.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 5, 2014

How much you get out of this American indie romcom will depend on where you stand on Keira Knightley doing her goofy, 'What me?' normal girl routine.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 4, 2014

Lynn 'Humpday' Shelton takes a sideways look at the challenges of growing up. Not, perhaps, her very best but still very watchable.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 3, 2014

Shelton has enough confidence in the story, the characters, and her outstanding performers to avoid the easy exaggerations of the genre.

| Original Score: B+ | Oct 31, 2014

Laggies is far from perfect, but it gives us a world we like spending time in. And that's kind of its point.

| Oct 31, 2014

A movie that is, in every way, nothing special - except for the way it's made and how it's done.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 30, 2014
