Alex Beh wrote, directed, and stars in this low-key indie, set in Chicago. Beh portrays Warren, a young man working in a coffee shop and, at times, joining his friends on stage for improv comedy. His father Jack,(the late John Heard) and his mother Claire (Jean Smart) are divorcing after a long separation and their home, which has been sold, is going to be torn down.
Warren is rather frustrated and lost and a part of him longs to move away and start anew somewhere else. However,when his ex-girlfriend Emma (Sarah Habel) suddenly appears in his coffee shop, it will rekindle all the old feelings of their former relationship. She's moved from New York back to Chicago and is about to be married.
Warren still feels, though, that there's still something between them and Emma also is again drawn to him emotionally. Things will all eventually come to a head and the ending may not be what you're expecting.
Overall, this indie seems to have too many "balls in the air" and never really congeals into a tale that I could involve myself with its characters. In other words, it's all over the place and I felt the script was just not sharp enough.
The movie does have an excellent musical soundtrack. To note, there were no subtitles on my DVD copy and I had to use the closed caption option on my remote.
