Description

A year after his disastrous writing debut, young author Fenton Dillane (Shiloh Fernandez) returns to his hometown, New York City, with the hope of winning back the love of his life, Jessie (Ashley Benson) and to make-up with his estranged parents. Instead, he finds his father (Chris Noth) embroiled in a scandal involving lobsters and coeds, his mother (Golden Globe Winner Mary-Louise Parker) buying drugs from his best friend (Josh Peck), and Jessie engaged to marry someone else. Featuring an ensemble of nuanced performances, this wry, comedic coming-of-age tale explores the heartbreak and hilarity that go hand-in-hand with being chronically metropolitan.

    Interesting and honest look behind the privileged lives of the UES. Found the movie to be thoroughly entertaining and refreshing. Definitely recommend!

    Reading the reviews for this film is typical of most who do this kind of thing for a living. Wherever "professional" critics can find a way to vent their frustrations for not living the life they want (ie. filmmaker) they go and attack those who do. This movie does not deserve the reviews its received from some. It's charming, well made, looks great, and the performances are spot on. I really loved Noth & Fernandez. Both were excellent! So was Addison timlin. She is a star if she wants to be. Cheers to the director for nailing it on his directorial debut and shame on the critics for their misplaced frustrations.
