    This is a small film and knows exactly how to be a small film. Like many New Yorker short stories, its purpose is to strike a particular note and allow it to reverberate.

    Unfortunately, its tale is so slight and simple that it also fails to say anything particularly poignant about life.

    A bland, insistently amiable comedy that doubles as road movie.

    Gentler and less aesthetically assaultive than offerings like 0s & 1s and Catfish, but it's not necessarily any subtler or more enlightening.
