I have no idea what I just watched. What is it with Hollyweird lately serving up so many slurries of nothing but dysfunctional awkward and cringe, and calling them movies? I guess there's some meta in there somewhere, but geez.

We get a glimpse into the life of a somewhat typical middle class midwestern family. Each member of the family seems disconnected and lonely. They seek connection outside of the home: the son via his vlog and trying to woo a girl in his school; the mom through her work at a shelter and by trying to mentor another boy housed there; the father by escaping into books. At the end, we see hope of them finding their way back to each other.

The characters were unrelatable unfortunately. The cast made me watch the film but the execution was flat. Both characters are too wrapped up in themselves.

I found it interesting. It touches some sensible subjects, like the disruptions between a teenager and his older than the norm parents. It's hard enough to be a teenager in this day and age and I bet it's even harder when you have parents who don't understand you, because they were your age like 4 decades ago.

The movie is fine, I don't have any negative feelings about it but also there's nothing about it that makes you say this is a great movie. Pretty much exactly the film you would expect from Jesse Eisenberg. The ending just feels like it’s missing something almost like it’s incomplete.
