[1][2] Izzy Klein is a young woman fresh out of college as she strikes up and ends relationships with a few men, and struggles to navigate the failures of post-college adulthood, leaning on her mother and younger sister for support.

Sabrina, her very successful Hollywood actress sister, encourages her to finish her degree and then take a gap year.

At home in her boyfriend Aaron's NYC apartment, Izzy talks about Sabrina's proposal but he is less than supportive and quickly gets upset.

Sabrina sees Izzy in the morning, a total mess in the disastrous-looking corner of the hotel room, and offers to let her move in with her and her boyfriend in LA – under the stipulation that she pick up after herself.

They take her to a party where Sabrina plans to help her network, but before she can, Izzy hooks up with Aaron's former drummer, Logan.

Izzy gets closer to Charlie, but when they're finally alone, she finds the painfully shy young director is so introverted he has never been completely intimate with anyone.

The sisters return to LA, with Izzy's gap year completed and a calm sense of optimism.

Filming started later that month in Los Angeles, New York City, Lake Tahoe and San Francisco.

The site's consensus states, "Lea Thompson proves as capable behind the camera as her daughters are before it in [the film], though its charming sensibilities are at times overshadowed by an inconsistent script.

[14] Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter described the film as "smart and vivacious when it isn't trying too hard" and added "for the twentysomethings with whom the movie is sure to click, the sarcastic jabs at such easy targets as health-conscious New Age types might feel fresh rather than strained.

But even with the screenplay's sometimes screechy missteps, the Deutch duo hold the screen with charm and intelligence to spare".
