Laggies

2014 · 100 min

A gentle, funny, and bittersweet watch about drifting through adulthood, with warm performances and a meandering, low-key charm.

Tagline: Acting your age is so overrated.
Overview: 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.
How it feels: Warm, light, melancholic and earnest. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Identity, coming-of-age, family, friendship
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
