Gabi, a rambunctious Oberlin undergrad, heads to New York City to spend the summer with her older brother, Sam, seeking solidarity in the wake of her parents' divorce. When she gets there, she finds Sam too busy juggling women and too irked by her provocative antics and almost constant nudity to give her the guidance she needs. In an effort to get Sam's attention, Gabi seduces his free-loving, freeloading college buddy, only to find she's in over her head. -- (C) Official Site

Critic Reviews
-
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Lawrence Levine should earn some attention with this agreeable indie comedy.
-
Steve Dollar, Wall Street Journal
Wisely observant of human nature as it bounces between the leads, Gabi evokes Woody Allen with a more generous heart (and a lot more casual nudity).
-
Mike Hale, New York Times
The shock of recognition dissipates, to be replaced by the glance at the wristwatch.
-
Eric Hynes, Village Voice
I know that people like this exist, but, in terms of characters on the screen, I'm never shown why they need to.
-
Ronnie Scheib, Variety
Remarkably, the film gradually, effectively coheres, building to a climax at once unexpected yet integral to what has transpired before.
