Storyline

Childhood friends Sasha and Marcus have a falling out and don't speak for 15 years. But when Sasha, now a celebrity chef in Los Angeles, returns to her hometown of San Francisco to open a new restaurant, she runs into her old pal - a happily complacent musician still living at home and working for his dad. Though the two are reluctant to reconnect, they soon find the old sparks - and maybe some new ones - are there.

User Reviews

Absolute Perfection

Thia movie is absolutely perfect in every way. If you haven't seen it, I won't give much away. Having said that, the movie does a phenomenal job of both ebracing this generation and simultaneously poking fun of it. It's hillarious and ironic at the same time. Keanu Reeves in this movie... best part! If all movies grasped this level of awareness, there would be a lot more hits out there. It's different and playful, while still sort of following an older rom com format. It's a must see.
