For 27-year-old Ben (Josh Lawson), life couldn’t be better. A well paid job, friends, parties, girls and nothing to tie him down. But when he is invited back to his old school to join several other ex-students including Alex (Rachael Taylor) and Jim (Ed Kavalee) in talking about their personal achievements, something goes wrong. Ben is the only speaker not to be asked a question by the school kids. This triggers a year of soulsearching and looking for answers in all the wrong places.
From his best friend Andy (Christian Clark) whose solution is that they both take another holiday, to his mentor Sam (Lachy Hulme) who loans him a sports car in the belief that there’s nothing like excessive speed to resolve emotional turmoil. Not even Ben’s father (Rob Carlton) or friends Nick (Daniel Henshall) and Em (Felicity Ward) can offer much in the way of meaningful guidance.
Of course, it’s not easy seeking enlightenment in nightclubs, or on the ski fields of New Zealand, and when you start dating a Russian tennis star things can get really complicated. As the poster boy for a generation desperate to tick every box, Ben begins to suspect that the meaning of life may well reside in the things he's already doing - and a girl he used to know.
優點明顯。首先小馬們都很美。其次表達主題在當今世界很需要從小對小朋友滲透：消除偏見，隔閡，追求相互溝通和理解，要有大愛大胸懷。
叙事节奏还可以，但女主实在长得太难看了，无法被带入戏。30分钟弃剧。加拿大制片的电影几乎就没几部是好电影，除了Eggers的《Lighthouse》。
看电影的过程中想起了索菲玛索的成名作《初吻》
好美好可爱！日剧跑跑跑就是浪漫啊，“I love You,Gary”。Alana开车那段酷爆喽～
画风跟林特莱克那部Everybody wants some！很像～玩的就是这个feel
小艺真的太太太可爱啦 一开始都没发现是虞书欣配的 好厉害！
#波妞的动画片剧场 之52
挺有意思的儿童游戏，儿童成人化，第一场戏就能看见大结局，没想到要经历这么多的波折啊。
“不可能事事都顺你心意啊”
林克莱特有《各有少年时》，PTA有《甘草披萨》，不过后者好于前者（2022,0505豆瓣6.8分）
This really makes me uncomfortable...mostly because of the age differences and what would count as statutory rape. ofc it's normal to like someone older or someone younger but seemingly mature, but there was little arc except for Alana finally finding out more about what she wants. Neither of them is working through any of their personal issues. They are still toxic.
[Aggie劇場] 哎呀媽呀 真想不到居然是這麼一個反種族主義、反警察暴力、反法西斯、反仇恨教育，大力弘揚女性力量、彩虹驕傲的影片呢。我要去反省我的直男成見了！哈哈哈哈哈……☮️
可爱讨巧的地方不能掩盖情节衔接的莫名其妙，still don't quiet get PTA.
好是好，可是有点长了，像有点腻腻的桃汁，还有那个傻逼尾随男，真的是，让我想起了以前公司那个傻逼小头头，真踏马傻逼啊。
尤其在当下这个节点，更为重要。
Such a wonderfully weird and romantic love story and coming-of-age comedy —— coming to 20s and 30s. 我最喜欢的一点是男女主角的年龄差距让他们面对的根本就是两种困扰和两层思维，但是片子做到了让大龄迷茫女青年和青春期懂屁男生的故事交织缠绕，绽放光彩，并且没有贬损或功能化其中任何一方。对我来说整体当然是更爱女主角也和她共情更多。
非常的游刃有余，失恋蓝调2.0，开倒车那一段魔幻时刻，真的绝了，也点出了由盛极衰的环境来，借古讽今也算是了。
3.5 PTA就是...很敬佩但是拍的故事大多我都get不到，所以电影里很多scene还是挺喜欢，特别是三姐妹出现的地方
什么鬼！看Paul Thomas Anderson看出了千年女优是怎么一回事？！导演本人是不是lock down里光看日剧了？！最后的奔跑蒙太奇我都要看哭了。本来中间程觉得都太长了大概只能给三星的。没想到结尾兜的也太懂了。各位导演最近都爱拍迷影向的电影么。这片的私心也太重了，一堆PTA粉参演，跟今年的Wes Anderson如出一辙是怎么一回事。
如果换一个男主我大概也不至于这么痛苦。很少给电影人的心血打一颗星，但这次我真的受不了了，谢谢哈
