Premise
A college graduate returns home to find himself.
Who should watch
Fans of Zack Braff or Natalie Portman.
Thoughts
Entertaining, but underwhelming. I enjoyed the cute dialogue, the energetic style, the quirky moments (such as the masturbating dog), and Natalie Portman's charming performance.
The problem was that the plot felt ordinary. It was basically a modern take on 'The Graduate', but replacing the Mrs. Robinson subplot with a typical eccentric-hyper-girl-saves-wishy-washy-boy-from-monotony-and-they-fall-in-love-even-though-he-doesn't-have-much-to-offer-her story.
What I would change
Lowered the hype.
