Summary: Jesse Eisenberg plays Charlie Banks who was immersed in college life and in unrequited love with Mary played by Eva Ammuri. His plans are dashed and his life changed when a figure from his past, Mike Leary, played by Jason Ritter, shows up. Mike Leary wants to just hang out with Charlie's roommate and is intrigued with the life his delinquent self never had.
Review: I think the movie lacked a concrete plot. Its baseline of a rebel getting a girl was overdrawn, and the climax of the film wasn't too thrilling. The cinematography was a bit lacking at times.
Further Question/Philosophy/Theme: Do people ever change? Why is the counterculture rebel always so popular with the youth and the girls?
Power Rating (Out of 5): 3 The movie was slow at times, but it did redeem itself with Eisenberg's acting. It was a bit of a bore, but it had some nice moments with the characters and how they developed.
