Plots(1)
Leigh (Kristen Bell) is almost 30 and living a seemingly perfect life in New York. But when her career and love life both come crashing down, she flees to her suburban hometown and regresses right back into teenage life - behaviour. She moves into her old room with her parents, hangs around with friends who never left town and reclaims her high school job as a condo-complex lifeguard. But as Leigh enjoys shirking off adult life and responsibilities and enters into an illicit affair, she begins a chain reaction that affects those closest to her. With an all-star cast that also includes Martin Starr and Amy Madigan, it's a journey that's both hilarious and heartfelt. (Pinnacle Films)

Sure, why not? Considering how it's presented quite casually and without pathos, and with Kristen Bell's excellent performance, it at least deserves an average rating. It's just a shame that it's so lackluster, sometimes very empty, and actually quite boring. A big event takes place, but suddenly you feel like it's actually quite ordinary. Thanks to this, you can easily realize that death is simply a part of life. It's not just an ordinary event in our lives, but it simply belongs there indelibly. That is pretty depressing. Calling this film a comedy is truly foolish.
