Stuck in Love is a 2012 American romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by Josh Boone in his directorial debut.

The independent film stars Jennifer Connelly, Greg Kinnear, Lily Collins, Nat Wolff, and Logan Lerman.

It focuses on the complicated relationships between a successful novelist, played by Kinnear, his ex-wife (Connelly), their college daughter (Collins), and their teenage son (Wolff).

Their teen son Rusty secretly crushes on his classmate Kate, and their cynical, college-aged daughter Sam prefers one-night stands to relationships.

Listening to Lou's favorite song, Between the Bars by Elliott Smith, Sam begins to cry, afraid he'll hurt her.

Inadvertently seeing Kate doing cocaine at her boyfriend Glen's party, Rusty and his friend Jason start to leave.

Sam's classmate Gus takes her home, where Bill and Erica discover the unconscious Kate, raped.

Later, his favorite author Stephen King calls, as Sam gave it to him, who gets it published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.

Stuck in Love started shooting in Wilmington, North Carolina in March 2012, primarily in the Wrightsville Beach area.
