#unexpected

Not what I expected from simply watching movie trailers. A bit disappointed in some story development--lacked some details.

Director Dave McCary maintains a suitably goofy tone and inspired casting (Hamill, Greg Kinnear, Claire Danes) make for a pleasantly uneven experience.

Suffice it to say that as James is pushed into the real world, the real world is more than willing to meet him halfway, in a way that is touching and charming, and at the same time plausible.

The story is engaging and McCary provokes an emotional response with his careful and nuanced handling of the main character’s mindset and situation.
