Treading Water

This movie is like an unfulfilled promise - the premise is interesting, but it does not do much with the subject. While it comes from the main character's social awkwardness, it is way too slow in some points and gets repetitive after some time. The best character is the mom, her sunny disposition is just adorable. However, she does not appear after the first 25 minutes. It is mostly a pointless movie: a boy meets girl story, where nothing interesting or funny happens on the couple's way of finding each other. It's to watch in the background while you are doing something else but I wouldn't actually recommend seeing it.
