    Small-Town Charmer
    A man who lives at home follows signs that bring him closer to his destiny.

    Most of these characters are facing life/relationship problems, but Jason Segel brings a lovable, quirky dorkiness to a film that inevitably carries lots of heart.

    The premise only works if you go along for the ride, and it doesn't hurt that the characters are likable - for the most part.

    Part fun, part strange, it's a down-to-earth world that becomes large because of its themes and ideas. Check it out!
