Abby (Rosemarie DeWitt) is a sought-after massage therapist and a free spirit, while her brother Paul (Josh Pais) thrives on routine, running a failing dental practice with his assistant and daughter Jenny (Ellen Page). Suddenly, Abby develops an aversion to bodily contact, which not only makes her unable to do her job, but also severely affects her relationship with her boyfriend (Scoot McNairy). As Abby navigates her way through an identity crisis, her brother’s dental practice receives new life when clients seek out his “healing touch.”

AwfulHow can they call this a comedy. It is the most depressing movie EVER!!!.Score: 1/5
Loved itI'm glad I watched this despite its low Rotten Tomatoes rating as it turned out to be a really nice, sweet film. In the film, there's a performance of "Horses" (by Tomo Nakayama of Grand Hallway) which is such a great song..Score: 4/5

Hey, okay!Hey, with all the really bad movies available for viewing displeasure these days, I'm not going to complain one bit when I get to watch something as unusual/odd as this. Very interesting acting, especially by Ellen Page and Josh Pais who is a kind of revelation. Allison Janney is of course her usual amazing self (in fact this movie reverberates in kind with the wonderful "The Way Way Back" - also graced by Janney), so deeply does she inhabit her roles. I am a complete sucker for movies wherein everybody gets what they really need and a form of winning is portrayed that is believable and without bathos. Life can be this way, dammit. I believe! People who don't like this movie: cynical, hipless sticks-in-the-existential-mud. More please..Score: 4/5
Most depressing movie everThis movie should not be called a comedy by any standards. I felt like the writer director was clinically depressed and infected everyone involved with the movie from actors to dop to score maker and by the end of it this viewer too. The writing is poor quality, not because the ideas and lines are bad, but because so many basic film craft rules are broken, we are left wondering who these people are and what their connections are, and at the end of the movie we hardly know any more than at the beginning. So much time with so many good actors so uselessly wasted!.Score: 1/5
Allison JanneyIf you have Allison Janney in your movie and don't use her name on the details page, you are either a hopeless moron or it is a gross oversight..Score: 1/5
Great, quirky character-driven storyLoves this film. Funny and real relationships among flawed but endearing family members. Plus Reiki. Enjoyable date movie..Score: 5/5
Needs a lesson in screenwritingLynn Shelton has a lovely directorial touch but so much of this movie dragged because of the exceptionally weak screenplay. Each character is trapped in their own monotony. Fair enough, but she doesn't take them anywhere with it until the last ten minutes and so consequently each actor is trapped in a one-note performance. She needs to take some more risks and explore the power of narrative instead of puddling along in her own mess of hipster quirk..Score: 2/5
With a story it would have been greatI loved the cast... the location.. the way it was filmed. Any section was beautiful... but I needed more of a story, or movement, or something. I kept wanting to like it.. but in the end, left hoping for more from this director next time..Score: 2/5
