I saw this at the Waterfront Film Festival in Saugatuck, Michigan.
Not that bad of a film but I wish it had a better script. Lily is a sweet woman that works at a fast food place. She has a crush on Jarrod, a geek that works at the computer store across from her. She manages to get an invitation to his "Dress as your favorite animal" party and the two hook up. Jarrod convinces Lily to travel with him to his hometown so he can get revenge on the bully that picked on him in school.
The movie's funny at times, but I wish there was more of a storyline to it. There were a few nice little gags throughout the film, like all of the funny t-shirts everyone wore or the stop motion animation that appeared a couple of times. Though the set up was nice, it started to turn into the usual story of someone breaking off a relationship and then feeling bad about it and wanting to get back together. I wish more was focused on the history of Jarrod and the bully he wanted to beat up. I also would have liked it if Lily's brother appeared more in the film, he had some of the great comedic qualities that started to disappear from the film after he left.
It's an okay movie, but to be honest, I'm writing this review just days after I saw the film, and already I've forgotten some of it. Had it been written better it probably would have been a more memorable film.
