This is a heartfelt, charming indie dramedy that is anything but indie. It feels like a blockbuster with a story that is smart and filled with witty humour, genuine moments and some very relatable themes and perspectives. The outstanding direction creates an engaging atmosphere paired with some phenomenal and charismatic performances that prove this is that one fish in the sea. It is one of the big indie hits of 2018.
This film was a fun independent film style romp through a mainstream film type genre. Michael A. Macrae writes some original and compelling characters going through life. Steve Olson and Katherine Cortez shine in this somber but uplifting tale that makes you laugh. The addition of Katrina Bowden and Kate Flannery as familiar faces of quality comedy helps cement this movie as a must see.
There is nothing to boast,but if you want to spend 90 minutes,just watch.A little movie which make us happy.
This is little doubt that the actors in this movie put on an excellent performance despite the poor and contrived plot line. There was a story here about life and death, being down and out, and purpose but it was so contrived, stereotypical and unnecessarily unbelievable that the message was lost. Rodney was in foster care...really? Is that what led to his homelessness? Give me a break.
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.

- TriviaIn the beginning interview scene, Rodney (Steve Olson) tells Susan (Kate Flannery) he is interviewing for assistant CEO. She corrects him and says assistant to the CEO. This is an allusion to The Office where Dwight would often say he was assistant regional manager only to be corrected that he was assistant to the regional manager. Flannery played Meredith on The Office.
