Failure to launch

Laggies

Crit

Well, duh: why wouldn't you prefer hanging out with cool teenagers to growing up when all the adults in your world, including those nearest and dearest to you, are either assholes or douches? But the damn near genius of this film is that it shows regression to an immature past self as a route out of stasis in an immature current self. The cliché monster makes an inevitable third-act appearance, but a smart story and a terrific cast make that sin forgivable. A very pleasant surprise.

By the way, not that the title really needs explanation, but if you don't pay close attention, you'll miss the one articulation and gloss of the term.
