I wanted to like this. Its like Napoleon Dynamite meets Flight of the Conchords, except Jarrod is Napoleon multiplied by Dwight Schrute and then minus any good qualities. He is insufferable.
If the romance part was removed, it would work better. Jarrod's threatening phone calls to his high school bully were funny, and I liked the scenes with Lily and Jarrod's family.

Love blossoms for Lily over double Meaty Boy burgers at mid-day when uber-computer nerd Jarrod comes in and leaves with free extra large fries.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quirky indie romance that finds genuine sweetness in two deeply awkward people discovering each other through shared weirdness. It's simultaneously funny and tender, with an undercurrent of melancholy about how childhood wounds shape who we become.
