I do love a coming of age story - and this movie does not disappoint.I find it interesting that the characters in these kinds of stories are getting older. All those teenage coming of age stories of times past are making way for new life transition. In this case, it's a career meltdown for Imogene (Kristen Wiig) who is in her late thirties. It's not new to see Wiig playing an annoying, selfish character - but it's refreshing to see her play it "straight" rather than for cheap laughs. Annette Benning is wonderful as the mother and I really enjoyed Darren Criss's easy going nice-guy performance. A special mention goes to Christopher Fitzgerald for his heartwarming portrayal of brother Ralph. Thankfully this is no paint-by- numbers romcom. It's intelligent, funny, heartwarming and worth a watch.
