Overview

Josh's life is pretty much in the toilet. He's a failed NYC indie rocker, and a failing booking agent. But he finds the potential of a small victory in a really bad idea. He decides to purchase a 1985 Lazy Boy on eBay, just like the one his dad had when Josh was a kid. He'll drive cross-country for the chair, staying with Emily at his brother's house on the way, and deliver it to his father as a surprise birthday gift. But when Rhett ends up coming along for the ride, it's three people and a giant purple puffy chair in a too-small van... and one of them has to go before the trip's end.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gently meandering road trip where three people awkwardly navigate intimacy and regret in a cramped van, hunting down a symbol of lost childhood. It's funny and touching in its refusal to tie things up neatly.
