If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Quite bad acting from the main guy, boring with bad jokes. I can't understand the stellar reviews from others. 10/10 giving to it looks like others haven't seen other movie than this one. Then again people have a different taste, maybe you'll like it. My wife and I did not.PS ok the black guy and old lady were good acts.

For fans of Judd Apatow and Greta Gerwig style dramedy - this is a sweet, little indie gem with lots going for it. Tons of nice little moments and performances. Take a chance on an unknown - it'll surprise you.

Stumbled upon this movie & decided to try it out. I'm glad i did. I loved the atypical bond between June & Rodney. It was a well written indie film that was both very real & funny. I'd recommend this movie to anyone. Definitely give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised.
