Good little coming of age movie

I thought this was a good coming of age movie. Reminded me somewhat of what it was like at that age, figuring out jobs, college and relationships. I felt that Jesse and Kristen had strong chemistry in this. Some good comedy mixed in nicely, Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig, Martin Starr. This was the first time I saw Margarita Levieva and have since seen her in other roles - I like her.

Haven't seen it since it was released, but I remember liking it and the characters and story seemed realistic.

Yeah, I could relate to it to some extent. I think some of it would be similar to many people of that age, just out of high school and/or in their first years of college. The kinds of temporary jobs, dating and such.

It was okay, although I don't recall much beyond the fact that Kristen Stewart was very good. It was the first time I'd seen her and she was immediately an eye-catching talent.
EDIT: Actually i had previously seen her in Panic Room, but she hadn't made any impression.

The first time I saw Kristen was in Panic Room. She was just a kid, eleven or twelve, but I felt she did a great job for such a youngster. I kept her name in mind to see how she'd do in the future and I've liked the work she's done. Mainly what I like is that she's more into Indie movies and roles that are usually more character driven.
