      Lillian: I'm just in like, a shitty situation right now and I don't really know what I'm going to do. The clothes I'm wearing are like, the only clothes I have, and I don't know where I'm gonna stay and stuff. I'm down from Baltimore.

      Lawrence: Up from Baltimore. It's south of here. Sorry, I'm being a pedant.

      Lillian: What?

      Lawrence: No, it's okay. I apologize. What were you saying?

    loses me at a point

    High school student Lillian (Talia Ryder) and her classmates from South Carolina are on a field trip to Washington, D. C. She sets off on her own to have a series of rambling adventures.

    Lillian is the bohemian pixie dream girl, a cousin of the manic pixie dream girl. She's more chilled. She goes on a meandering 70's style journey into outsider America. I'm intrigued by her trip for the first half. She's cute and is that girl. After about an hour, the movie goes off the rails. It does something completely ridiculous. The quirky rambling series of new friends becomes a rather silly random event. At that point, the movie loses me and it never gets me back.
