Overeducated and underemployed, 28 year old Megan is in the throes of a quarterlife crisis. Squarely into adulthood with no career prospects, no particular motivation to think about her future and no one to relate to, Megan is comfortable lagging a few steps behind - while her friends check off milestones and celebrate their new grown-up status. When her high-school sweetheart proposes, Megan panics and- given an unexpected opportunity to escape for a week - hides out in the home of her new friend, 16-year old Annika and Annika's world-weary single dad Craig.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Found this movie entertaining and absorbing. Keira Knightley who stands through as an important carer giver and taker; is like an imaginary sister. The picture is a source to understand that 'life is not perfect'; with ups and downs in relationships which are essentially by blood. The father and daughter; Keira and father. The mother and child; Keira and mother are both relationships where meaning can and is derived; watch out for life and death under the visual stimulus. Visual treats are Keira herself with hands by side of a teenager who she meets. The methods to instill justice over the whereabouts of life could be claimed as a plot narrative. In the end an appreciation of circumstances are found or not meant literally by Hollywood; is the Indian appreciation of this movie. Letting nothing go to dumpsters: life consisting of food, shelter and clothing suits us well through the movie screening. Terrific visual movie with suitable buddies.

I thoroughly enjoyed Say When. But then I'm a thirty-something Peter Panette who hasn't grown up, found true love and who's biggest regret is never having made it to a high school prom. Its all about whether you're content with your pretty comfortable lot or whether you yearn for the same unbridled ambition you had as a teen. Sam Rockwell's character is hilarious - you don't want to like him but it's difficult not to like anyone so flawed. Ditto for Kiera Knightley's. It's the kind of movie that gives us millennials/generation x'ers hope that there is a silver lining to all the hard work. Now where can i find my own Craig....

Wasn't expecting to like this film as much as I did. First, Sam Rockwell has got to be one of the best actors to work with. He is naturally cool and his confidence on screen must be contagious. Have never seen who put anything but an A-Game performance out there. Second, no one plays the girl we all want to fall in love with (who is sincere, cool, fun, and romantic) than Kiera Knightley. Kiera and Sam? Would never see it working on paper. Totally worked on the screen. Third, Chloe Grace Moretz is one fine young actress whose resume is amazing at such a young age. Expect to see Oscars on a frequent basis from her. Finally, Lynn Shelton paces this film perfectly. Her best effort to date. Nicely done! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Meg is a woman in her late twenties who hasn't figured out what she wants to do with her life and she still lives as a teenager. When her long term boyfriend proposes to her, she takes a week off in the house of a teenage girl and her father. I don't know why exactly but I enjoyed laggies. Sure it's not the movie that I will remember after some time, but it is interesting to watch how the characters bond, how Meg finds herself more suited to be friends with a teenage girl than her all grown up old friends. The story is a little odd, but at some points not original at all. I guess everything is on a medium level, not too bad but not too great either. And so I give Laggies a 4 out of 10.
