I saw this at a 'movie deal' just prior to it's full release. We didn't know what the movie was going to be until they played it. It started out a little slow for me, but got better. Stick with it and I think you'll come out pleasantly surprised.

There's one scene that WILL make you LAUGH OUT LOUD - if you've ever been a teenager that is.

Since I'm old now, I didn't really recognize the actors other than Aubrey Plaza. It's a fun coming of age story, a little slow at first, but gets much better as it goes along.

When we left the theatre we were all surprised at how much we liked it - I can't wait until I can see the one hilarious scene over and over again. The thought of meeting your older self and getting advise from your older self is quite a tempting wish. The scene where her older self meets her young boyfriend is very touching, and all of us wished that kind of magic could happen - to see a former love one more time.

If you like Lifetime movies, you'll like this one. If you like investing yourself in a movie, then this one's not it - it's not very good - there's no grit, the characters are rather plastic. Any trauma or issues between characters are VERY forced, some seem to just take a left turn but in reality are truly non-issues, they go nowhere. It's hard to get invested in the movie.

Benjamin Bratt would be the standout in this movie - but, again, it would really play best on lifetime. Teenage girls might like it, and little old ladies, perhaps. I did stick it out, all the way to the end - the resort they're at (if it is a resort) is nice.
