Review

Josh Radnor is his usual likable self as a 35-year-old nice guy at a crossroads in his life who heads back to his alma mater and falls for a beautiful, precocious 19-year-old, played by Elizabeth Olsen. Mostly charming, funny indie isn’t exactly challenging, but to its credit it doesn’t shy away from acknowledging the oddness of its central relationship.
