This was excellent. It feels very natural and true to life, and has an equal balance of hilarious and heartbreaking moments. There was absolutely no way I wasn't going to enjoy this as I LOVE the entire cast (seriously, I applaud the casting director for getting all these people together), but I was really impressed about how a good number of the actors were able to tackle the dramatic segments of the story as they're mostly known for comedy. There isn't a weak link in the cast. Max Greenfield, Jason Ritter, Nate Parker and Aubrey Plaza are excellent, Maggie Grace probably gets the least to do but delivers a sweet, understated performance, and Jane Levy is hilarious and charming. All of these actors have great chemistry with one another and I completely bought the friendship dynamic between all of them. It's a very relatable coming of age film and I hope it gets a good distributor so it can have a proper release. It definitely feels like The Big Chill for a new generation. A-

This was wonderful. Everyone is in top form here, especially Max Greenfield, who I usually find kind of annoying. It also has a nice social commentary on suicide and friendship. Definitely recommended. I'm surprised the reviews were so mixed.
