I have a weakness for coming of age comedy films, so I tend to be a little biased towards them. Loved Michael Cera's performance, and absolutely fell in love with Portia Doubleday's Sheeni. It's one of those films that you should watch not so much expecting to laugh out loud but rather to have a tender chuckle.
