I could see myseld and my brother, well my whole family in the picture. And I didn't ever know if the dialogue was written or not, that's the biggest compliment I could ever give to a film. So Watch it and have fun!

Alex and Nat both acted really well. A great watch.

This movie was really enjoyable to me...I think some parts could of landed better...but I also think that people with dogs who are considered to be apart of their family will eat this movie up...I love movies like this...where you feel apart of the families lives...reminded me of being young and my sister and I having our cat...he was 14 when he was put down...that's a big part of you...a big part of your life...hard when you have to let that go...this family was so in sync with one another...so many laughs that really seem genuine...check this out...watch a movie that makes you feel like things still matter that aren't tragedies...there are still things to make you smile in this world...things that make you cry...but those things are what make you who you are...

This movies is seriously funny, hats off to the brothers. Nate is great as usual, great chemistry with Alex.

It has emotional moments, very touching for any animal lover.

Sad other don't see the writers vision and are so harsh.

It's a comedy for young adult with a fresh sense of humor.

I loved this movie, it was amazing for it's genre, the acting is really great and it made me like all the characters. Alex Wolff's character was really fun and I loved their relationship with their mother. I really enjoyed the pace of everything because it all seemed so natural like everyone was a real family.

This is what indie films should be. Funny, poignant, delightful.

Hi all, this movie it's the best drama ever I seen long time. ( facts, truth , honesty , funny , Reality ) our life. Plus great young acter with amazing story. Thanks you so much for letting us know our life what's look like 😘

There are some movies that, after watching, I just want to be quiet and let the impact of what I've watched resonate in me. Stella did that for me. It wasn't a masterpiece, but it was what it was, a truthful experience.

It makes sense that real life brothers would show this exceptional chemistry, but they shared that chemistry with every well cast actor in this film.

The Wolff brothers revealed that irreverent humor and play time that many of us only reveal in the safety of our family relationships. It rang so true and Polly Draper, as usual lived up to that truth. Her performance was so good and she made me believe she could be such a pushover, and a person who could raise two good guys.

Initially, Nick Sandow's character of Ron smelled a little stereotypical, until the writer cleverly turned a realistic corner. And after all stereotypes are often based on generalizations of truth, right? By the way, Sandow is always a fine actor.

Violet was played a little thinly by the beautiful Paulina Singer. I can't honestly tell who's to blame, she did glimmer at certain moments (though her ballet moves were clearly amateur).

I love dogs, so I know that helped me to enjoy this movie. I love my family and have a similar relationship to my siblings. Maybe that's why this movie touched me deep and has left me quiet, enjoying the stirrings it evoked.
