Our take

Exquisitely embodying the charming spirit of perpetual slackerdom, Paul Rudd is as lovable as ever in Jesse Peretz’s heartwarming stoner romp, also starring the hilarious Zooey Deschanel and Elizabeth Banks. Sometimes, the best antidote to life’s curveballs is to embrace uncertainty with open arms!
