Overall a good movie that really hurt itself with some exhausting unfunny pointless scenes
Am I the only one who found the Waits and Penn scenes to be insufferably bad?
Cooper had his moments but it just went on way too long. The protagonists and their families were so endearing that even in a movie where they were clearly the stars they could have used more screen time. While in some movies inappropriate age relationships are underplayed yet kind of matter (think Sam Elliott in Lifeguard) in this movie it added intrigue and Anderson's use of her real siblings and parents made her angst and attraction to a teenager understandable and even nice, with the acceptance that a 25 year old woman sleeping with a 15 year old boy is wrong.
