Sundance would not be Sundance without a few unbelievably stupid, clichéd, graceless movies in the mix.

The film has been complacently concocted for likability even as it gives you very little that's real, structured, or spontaneous enough to enjoy.

If you're first act was writing the Oscar winning screenplay for "The Descendants," looking for an encore can be tough. But Nat Faxon and Jim Rash leveraged that win and made the leap to directing their own small-budget, bighearted coming of age comedy.

The story is a sapling, waiting to flourish into something more. Something more never comes.
