Carrie Pilby

A breath of fresh air. A bit of a Salinger's catcher in the rye in it. Infused with good values and so a drop of a bit of an antidote to an increasingly cynical society. Feel good and a pleasant hour and a half.

A socially awkward, highly intelligent teen, is trying to find some happiness in the world. All the bad reviews seem to yearn for a caricature, so absolutely awkward and intelligent they can barely function in the real world. Unfortunately for them this is far more realististic. Just a person not quite in sync with the real world trying to find their rhythm. This a sweet, feel good movie. It has real heart, you know that because your automatically connect with the main character. It's lovely from start to finish.

After leaving the theatre without being moved to feel something memorable from the past three blockbusters I've seen, I'm happy I stumbled upon this movie while it was playing in LA. Not only did I love it, I didn't check my watch once, that's saying something. And, what more do you need to say when a movie makes you feel great? Nothing!

Not a comedy, nor a drama, this film has surprised me a lot. The characters are quirky and likeable, the story may be considered a coming-of-age tale, but it's so much more. Give humanity a chance and yourself, too, that's the lesson. And beyond that, a very relaxing film that's humorous and touching in unexpected ways.

This film tells a story of an nineteen year old Harvard graduate, who is cynical and insecure about herself. She isolates from the world and is angry about everything, until her psychiatrist asks her to go and do a list of things that hopes to transform her.

"Carrie Pilby" is a portrayal of an interesting character that is different from the usual girl next door. She is intelligent, pretty but highly guarded from the outside world. The story is about her trying to make sense of the world around her, which is not complicated to most people but unfathomable to her. It is satisfying to see her change and develop in just over a week. It is a sweet little romantic comedy to kill time with.
