In struggling to decide what this film wants to be but never quite is, the best I could come up with was a Noah Baumbach film. Quirky but not quiet quirky enough to feel original. Tracing what is basically an internal personal journey only to where exactly or why is never clear. Dealing with eccentric characters who might be colorful and entertaining but in fact seem self-involved and annoying. Probably the most interesting thing about the movie is seeing Patrick Dempsey looking way more like Jesse Eisenberg than anyone resembling the (apparently) dreamy lead he is today. Which prompts me to think that the film has hints of "Adventureland" as well, but without that film's clarity.
