A woman who is approaching her thirties and still doesn't know what she wants from life (like most of us, I would say), accidentally meets a teenager and uses her to escape responsibility, at least for a short time. A romantic comedy elevated from mediocrity by a rather realistic depiction of the mental state that most of us go through at some point in our lives. Some go through it maturely and responsibly, even painlessly, but many bring themselves into tragicomic situations as the heroine of this film. Partly because I found myself in this story to some extent, and partly because of Keira Knightley and Chloë Grace Moretz, I have to rate it at least a little higher than it objectively deserves. 7/10

The story of a 20 something year old having to face "real life" is very relatable. The story of that 20 something year old making friends with a high school student, OK sure it's possible. The story of that 20 something year old hiding out for a week with that high school student at her single dads house, that's starting to stretch it a little. The story gets a little far-fetched when the single dad allows this 20 something year old stay in his house while she "waits to move into her apartment." I'm pretty sure no one would do that irl, except I suppose if it's Keira Knightley. Keira Knightley always pretty, acting is sometimes questionable, but well done in this film. Chloe Grace Moretz who I usually like and is destined for a long successful career added another positive credit to her resume. Sam Rockwell, always good, never enough screen time. Is that how he does it? Overall the film was good humored with sympathetic characters. I just call bs on one issue which only barely affected my likeness of the film. This film had strong performances from the cast and fluid directing. Overall I'd say 6.6/Z

Yes it has Keira Knightley and Chloë Grace Moretz in it , so you'd think it might be that good yet the plot of the movie was not that clear or must say was shattered in so many places !! so you'd think about this girl who just run away from being mature and real life and being stuck in the past of her adulthood dreams trying to cheat on her fiancé and well it's okay for her and in the last minute when things get real and she realizes that okay she must grow up she just storm off again from getting married to just have another fling with some lonely A-hole lawyer "as you'd get from the scenario" who will probably leave here when the time comes or even most probably she will leave him thinking she'd made another mistake,, so i can't really figure out whether she actually went from being mature to being playful and shaky on decisions or it was the other way around ... or maybe that was the whole point of the whole story !! To be fair , the production was well put and directing seems to be helped in a way, the casting was okay but a bit overrated i mean they could'v gone with "well" let's say less famous or even less talented leading actors and movie would'v come out as it is today but commercializing and all of that is understandable, yet again the storyline and the writing was a bit problematic and focused on one point of view ,, Maybe if there was more minutes showing us how "Megan" will break up again with the lawyer guy it would be a bit better. ;)
