Brit freddie highmore is Charlie. He likes the girl that works in the coffee shop (Odeya Rush), but she already has a boyfriend. They spend time together, but he's stuck in a rut. And she still has a boyfriend. They both have secrets they aren't ready to share yet. Haley osment is in here as the friend. Chris meloni as the wacky father who took off years ago, but pops back up for a quick visit. And keeps walking around the house naked. In front of Charlie's friends. More pretty bad stuff happens, and now the family is depending on each other to get through it. It kind of goes haywire near the end; some pretty unlikely scenarios, but ... it is what it is. Last 30 minutes of the script needed a tune-up or something. I guess it could have all happened that way. Written and directed by Jake Goldberger. One of the three films he has written and directed to this point.
