The IMDb description is way off and doesn't do the the movie justice. Reggie "Ditto" is the lead character, but not the whole story. There are three other characters, 2 other couples also dealing with lost loves. Reggie is the main character but not the whole movie, though the plot does revolve around him. The description also makes it sound like a teen comedy, which is only part of the narrative.
There's two different casts playing the same set of characters 20 years apart. It's surprisingly easy to follow and the weaving of these two story lines was the best element of the film. And the best element of the two story lines is when they're teenagers.
This is the kind of movie you want to see again because there's so much going on, the director has so much to say, I think this is one of those films that on a second viewing gets even better. I'll definitely see it again.
