    Not quite thought provoking, but certainly interesting. This movie takes some good angles on family, relationships, and how people of a certain age (35-45 or there abouts) are caught in between generations with wildly different ideals. It's actually graceful in how it handles its interactions between Long's professor character and his students where what appears ridiculous can be nuanced and what appears nuanced can also be ridiculous. Generational divide is real and an attempt to understand is needed from both sides, but it's on the elder generation to "be the adults." Justin Long is one my favorite less celebrated actors and he is fantastic in this. The writing isn't spectacular and the narrative wanders, but despite its faults, this is a very enjoyable indie comedy.

    This movie is brilliantly written and continuously funny—which is nearly impossible to do. Irreverent to everything, but circling around to an uneasy acceptance of how things are actually, this movie is both a snapshot and a moving picture of society as we are now. What blows my mind is the Google review of 50% and the popular review of same on this forum. Did we not frame your social phenomenon correctly? Do we care? (In real life, "no". But thanks for giving us something to entertain us and laugh a little. And, good luck carrying the weight of your inordinate feelings for a full life cycle. As another apt movie title once said: this is "As Good As It Gets".)

    Great dialogue and characters. Very real and relatable. And the best portrayal of self-righteous uni students absolutely getting off on their power to bully and attack with no consequences I've ever seen.

    Absolutely fantastic!!!! It puts this entitled younger generation in the right light. It shows the absurdity of today's society of the offended. A fantastic movie that is not afraid to look at the world as it is today....this movie shows how ridiculous people have become. Every comment or action offends somebody, and it is ridiculous. This movie portrays that. Fantastic and a must see.

    Pretty run of the mill movie here . Just overall decent and mediocre all the way through . Nothing bad nothing too great . 3.1 . I think they did a great job of portraying how hypersensitive and overreactive and impossible to reason with many college students are nowadays . At first I was against Justin long but by the end I was all in on his side . Justin long really did give a great acting performance here . I’m coming back after thinking about it more - I hate that college student and he cancel culture attitude
