I Used to Go Here

Uneventful, dull, boring. No plot. Aimless. Honestly don't know what this was supposed to be about or what writer was trying to convey.

I think this film is a great mix of comedy and drama. The jokes are pretty funny, and I like the fact that it is free from gross humour. The drama side of the author's lack of success connects with me as well. I enjoyed it.

It's not a bad film. I don't mind to see a movie once in a while just about life, nothing fancy. Gilian Jacobs is pretty good as usual and the photography is pretty nice. It is not boring as others stated. Give it a try. Samberg produced it :-)

I appreciate when a movie has even a faintly casual/mature attitude towards certain controversial subjects, but for the most part, this is your standard, undercooked indie dramedy.

Can a mid-life crisis sneak up on a 35 year old? Let's not be ageist about this matter, of course it can.

Gillian Jacobs translates her wonderfully sassy yet confused young woman character of "Love" (Netflix, worth the binge) into aspiring author Kate Jacobs, rebounding from a cancelled book tour to revisit her alma mater at the request of her old prof crush.

Mayhem ensues. Well, not really, but something better. Whilst her friends are back home with very pregnant bellies, single Kate anxiously jumps back into college, if only for a brief escapade. Enraptured by the youth and vitality of her previous life, Kate slips back into a comfy place, leaving her spiralling mess adult self behind.

Avoiding sliding into "Animal House" debauchery, "I Used To Go Here" tackles a series of comedic and romantic escapades in a fresh, believable manner. Kate's complicated relationship with her old mentor (a wonderfully nuanced turn by Jermaine Clement) is at the core of the film, isn't dwelled on but played out naturally, and revisited cleverly when the movie comes full circle.

All this rests on the lead's shoulders, and she manages to shoulder it quite well. Jacobs is that rare breed: a wide-eyed actor who is both endearing and relatable enough to carry the movie, which as it turns out, is pretty good.
