An honest try at portraying the struggle for relationship across generational lines. A lighthearted look at the downsides of being super smart. Supergeeks need love! While the performances are solid, it is hard to imagine the 'plot,' i.e., (spoiler, please read no further if you are spoiler averse) a faculty liaison with a sixteen year old. Jeez! Pretty Little Liars was more than enough in that vein.
More to the point, how could someone this geeky get this much action with no awkwardness at all?
I am a huge fan of both Gabriel Byrne and Nathan Lane but there were moments when I felt they were phoning it in, although phoning it in for these two remains excellent.
A feel good movie with a lot to say about how confusing love is, but, oh, how necessary.
score 7/10
