Another slice of life movie with no plot or direction or ending. This seems to be all the rage these days amongst cerebral directors and writers.
Perhaps this is how Dustin Guy Defa grew up with his siblings. Who knows. It's all very well to regurgitate your adolescence but it still needs to be engaging for it's audience.
This film will polarize people between those that think it's quaint quirky and unique and others who find it unrelateable. I fall into the latter camp. It never quite hits the mark. You come away feeling empty and confused as to what was the point of it all.
There was one scene I thought was well executed. Without giving it away it involves Ceras character cleaning up at the poker table by out bluffing his opponents. The juxtaposition of what happens when he leaves the venue is fascinating.
Ps this is 10% comedy and 90% sibling drama.

In dreary 'real life' hipster drama "The Adults" Michael Cera revisits his cold, drab NY state hometown where he'd rather play poker with strangers than reconnect with sisters Hannah Gross (between he & whom there are issues since their mum passed 5yrs back) & Sophie Lillis (who's apparently always idolised him (tho who knows why)). Over its 1hr 31mins (that seems longer) the siblings awkwardly communicate in in-jokes, silly voices and (most cringe-worthily) self-written song & dance routines that they used to do at Christmas etc. It may mean something to writer / director Dustin Guy Defa, but to most anyone else it'll be an excrutiating bore. Flush.
'The Adults' is about as flat as films come. Very rarely does a scene have a pay off in this movie. Characters just interact in a fairly unusual and dis-interesting way and then the scene ends and we move on to the next interaction. Repeat for 90 minutes.
I'm always interested in how poker scenes are handled in movies. They are rarely handled well, but for the most part they were especially sloppy in 'The Adults'. We are often not shown the cards in the hand and yet we have to listen to the characters talk about them as if we have seen them. They are also done in a very bizarre manner where people say things during the hand that make no sense whatsoever and don't fit their motivations.
The movie finished and I realised I hadn't felt a single thing during the movie. I wasn't interested in the relationships, I never found it funny, I never found it sad. I simply felt nothing. This one was a miss. 4/10.

I love Michael Cera's work and really rate him as an actor and his taste in projects. He is always interesting.
This film, although a long way from what we usually expect from him was still a good effort. This film is straight up family drama, not a comedy. It shows the quirks and reality of a trio of siblings left without their matriarch and patriarch to find their own path in the world, as they develop their own quirks and flaws as individuals apart from each other. The family house is still there, and the remnants of the siblings routines and mannerisms they developed as they grew up together, now apart.
Cera's character has developed an obsessive card game addiction, and we see this through him fobbing off friends and family in order to get his gaming fix, Sophia Lillis's character had drifted along with her frail quirky character and Hannah Gross's character had pulled back into her shell, still damaged by the loss of their mother and trying to find her path.
The movie was well made and acted and I appreciated the non hollywood approach to the film-making as they made a very real, honest, recognisable portrayal of family dynamics and human failings.
If you were looking for some light relief with good Cera style humour this isn't it, but you can admire and acknowledge the good small movie this team have created. Cera wears the same clothes throughout, the house is realistically spartan, the family show love and failings believably, and the messages are subtle.

Really interesting to see the mixed opinions on this. I really enjoyed it. It's a beautiful portrayal of sibling relationships, and so much in the movie is in what's unsaid. This can sometimes be frustrating in movies like this but there's so much depth in the characters and performances from the three leads that you can feel their complexities and pain, but also the unique connection they have. Reminiscent of the also great Skeleton Twins. I think it's currently really underrated on here and I'm glad I decided to watch it, based purely on a clip of Michael Cera's (excellent) Tony Soprano impression.
