Member Rating:  
A grown man locked into an extended state of arrested adolescence returns to the nest while concocting a series of excuses as to why he cannot return to his wife and child in this existential comedy drama from filmmaker Azazel Jacobs. Mikey was preparing to board an airplane bound for California when he suddenly found himself fleeing from the airport and returning to the comfort of his parents' New York home. Even Mikey isn't sure exactly why he made the snap decision not to go home, all he knows is that he can't quite muster the courage to go back and assume the responsibilities of your typical family man. Of course, Mikey's doting mother is more than happy to enable her son's indecision -- and his father remains as emotionally distanced as ever -- but as time goes on, the grown-up man-child finds it increasingly difficult to make the choice between going back to reality, or drifting ever further into his second adolescence. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    At times it was so slow I got bored but continued to watch and fast forward. It was one of those movies that I would never see again but wanted to see it to the end. Many scenes didn't make sense and seemed to wonder from the moment of what was happening. Not one to recommend to anyone... do not waste your time on this one. There are too many good ones to watch..this was not one of them!

    I didn't hate this movie. I did want to shut it off to go to bed, but I'm physically incapable of not seeing a film I start to its end, so I powered through, and this is a very "real" independent movie about arrested development, the slant being that it takes place in New York City. It's just slow, and forgettable. I can't even remember how it ended. Darn.

    Wierd movie--not for everyone. I almost turned it off after watching it for 30 minutes, but I slowly started to enjoy the story and kind of got into it.
