Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Kelly, a punk-rocker turned suburban mom, is nostalgic for a life she can no longer have and uncertain of a future she doesn’t yet fit in. Seventeen-year-old Cal is frustrated at his lack of control over the hand he’s been dealt. When the two strike up an unlikely friendship, it’s the perfect spark needed to thrust them both back to life.”

Poster: C

Review: Sometimes poster designers can try too hard. The bonus is that this design doesn’t rely on the overly precious hand-drawn graphics, but it doesn’t step far beyond the generic by creating the town in upside-down splendor with the primary characters at the bottom side of the design. It’s not original, nor particularly well executed.

Trailer: B-

Review: Juliette Lewis adds charm to the trailer that could help it find an audience on the indie scene. The film doesn’t look like it explores new romantic relationship ground, but it plays with the formula just enough to make it seem like an appealing diversion.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
