The thing about people who work hard at being cool is they're usually pretty tiresome to be around. That applies to just about everyone in Drake Doremus' wilted kale salad of a movie,. This ponderous, semi-improvised self-realization exercise casts Shailene Woodley as an artsy young woman coming off a bad breakup when she drifts into a triangle with two friends played by Jamie Dornan and Sebastian Stan.
Daphne is reeling from the end of a four-year relationship with Adrian . She was convinced he was "the one," but seems to have sabotaged that hope with a one-night stand with Jed , which caused her also to abruptly quit her job. While figuring out what's next, she moves back into the pool house of her married half-sister Billie , seemingly not for the first time. Her older friend and confidante, Ingrid , suggests she take a break and spend some time alone.
The discovery that Frank and Jack are buddies causes both Daphne and the guys to step back for fear of driving a wedge into their friendship. But the casual talk about fear of emotion, and passion being left by the roadside on the way out of one's early 20s seems just a formality to stall Daphne's inevitable tumble into bed with both men.
Daphne tends to blame the example of her mother for her tendency to move from guy to guy, making impulsive decisions and hurting people along the way. But she's still a woefully underdeveloped character. We watch her play pinball, hand-paint old teapots, babysit her adorable niece or exchange meaningful looks with Jack's cute corgi.
