    Haven't seen a movie like this ever...

    It was a comedy and a drama and a love story and wow! I felt every emotion possible in an hour and a half. This movie leaves you thinking. My teen daughter and I talked about many important topics for hours after watching it.

    What an emotional ride

    This film portrays a very unique perspective from how you can be down in life no one ever being there for you and you always having to be the strong one. To being introduced to love in life when you have never seen anything like it, but pain and suffering. This really does show the struggles and worries of life in so many perspectives showing that you can still find love and happiness amongst all of the problems in life. This film is a whirlwind of emotions from when we first meet Casey who has had enough of life to when we come across Jess and Jules that provided Casey with the love that he never got. They are kind of like a family that works through problems by helping each other whilst finding times of laughter and joy. I am glad I came across this film it leaves you feeling happy and sad at the same time as it is very bittersweet, therefore overall I highly recommended anyone watching this film it really does bring up some emotional topics that needs to be talked about more in life. A big well done to the cast and crew for bringing such an emotional story to our screens and a special mention to Emily Kinney who portrayed Jess, Breckin Meyer who portrayed Casey and of course the amazing Giselle Eisenberg who portrayed Jules, as I am very impressed with all of their performances as it is such hard emotional topics to portray on screen and they all smashed it congratulations.

    It's a very nice movie and feels heartfelt. Really throws a curveball at the end.

    Wonderfully poignant

    I couldn't possibly like this movie more. It was unique, beautifully written and acted.and both funny and sad. It has much in common with several of my favorite movies. I laughed and cried and highly recommend it.

    One of-a-kind heart and soul tearjerker

    Quirky, jarring, touching, and overall unconventional plot which makes it a really unique film. I was reminded of other "broke the mold" stories like Harold & Maude, Being There, and Little Miss Sunshine but even then there's not much else to compare this remarkable dramedy-romance to. All the principal actors do amazing jobs with their performances, and issues of mental illness, PTSD, and living with trauma all come to light in this very powerful and unpredictable film.
