I had as odd of a time watching this movie as I've ever had. It started out problematic: too dry, too slowly paced with unlikable characters and then somewhere between sitting at the table and getting the check it shifted and I found myself enjoying it tremendously. The fact that the dialogue has such a true to life feel to it makes it feel somewhat dry and boring at first, but when you settle in and listen to what they are saying, the script becomes remarkable. The characters felt very much like people. It's like a more subtle, polished " Breakfast Club " for adults and lead to a truly lovely ending. I look forward to revisiting it someday.
