Keira Knightly is Megan, an underemployed (hardly employed at all!) and over-educated 28 year old woman struggling to find her place in life. She has loving parents who are starting to get a little frustrated with her lack of ambition (and laying around on their couch all day) and a boyfriend ready to move to the next phase of their relationship. She sees something at her best friend's wedding that sends her out for air and eventually just out. Heading into a grocery store, she encounters a teenager, Annika (Chloe Grace Moretz) and agrees to buy beer for her and her underage friends. Not a wise decision. Eventually, unable  to face the pressure from her friends and boyfriend to grow up, she gives herself a week to get her life in order and goes to stay with Annika and her Dad Craig (Sam Rockwell). She bonds with Annika and grows close to Craig without really resolving any of her issues. An accident wakes her up and forces her to confront her life.

This movie was a nice surprise. It was really funny and touching. The Husband and I really liked it! We were laughing out loud. Trainer Joe liked it but maybe not as much as us. Keira, Chloe and Sam were all fantastic. The movie kind of kept you guessing as to how it would resolve and it was a fun trip getting there. Go see it!
