A woman who is approaching her thirties and still doesn't know what she wants from life (like most of us, I would say), accidentally meets a teenager and uses her to escape responsibility, at least for a short time. A romantic comedy elevated from mediocrity by a rather realistic depiction of the mental state that most of us go through at some point in our lives. Some go through it maturely and responsibly, even painlessly, but many bring themselves into tragicomic situations as the heroine of this film. Partly because I found myself in this story to some extent, and partly because of Keira Knightley and Chloë Grace Moretz, I have to rate it at least a little higher than it objectively deserves. 7/10

The story of a 20 something year old having to face "real life" is very relatable. The story of that 20 something year old making friends with a high school student, OK sure it's possible. The story of that 20 something year old hiding out for a week with that high school student at her single dads house, that's starting to stretch it a little. The story gets a little far-fetched when the single dad allows this 20 something year old stay in his house while she "waits to move into her apartment." I'm pretty sure no one would do that irl, except I suppose if it's Keira Knightley. Keira Knightley always pretty, acting is sometimes questionable, but well done in this film. Chloe Grace Moretz who I usually like and is destined for a long successful career added another positive credit to her resume. Sam Rockwell, always good, never enough screen time. Is that how he does it? Overall the film was good humored with sympathetic characters. I just call bs on one issue which only barely affected my likeness of the film. This film had strong performances from the cast and fluid directing. Overall I'd say 6.6/Z

Yes it has Keira Knightley and Chloë Grace Moretz in it , so you'd think it might be that good yet the plot of the movie was not that clear or must say was shattered in so many places !! so you'd think about this girl who just run away from being mature and real life and being stuck in the past of her adulthood dreams trying to cheat on her fiancé and well it's okay for her and in the last minute when things get real and she realizes that okay she must grow up she just storm off again from getting married to just have another fling with some lonely A-hole lawyer "as you'd get from the scenario" who will probably leave here when the time comes or even most probably she will leave him thinking she'd made another mistake,, so i can't really figure out whether she actually went from being mature to being playful and shaky on decisions or it was the other way around ... or maybe that was the whole point of the whole story !! To be fair , the production was well put and directing seems to be helped in a way, the casting was okay but a bit overrated i mean they could'v gone with "well" let's say less famous or even less talented leading actors and movie would'v come out as it is today but commercializing and all of that is understandable, yet again the storyline and the writing was a bit problematic and focused on one point of view ,, Maybe if there was more minutes showing us how "Megan" will break up again with the lawyer guy it would be a bit better. ;)

Not that I'm a big fan of Rom Coms, and I'm not a fan of Keira Knightley,at least not enough to run to the movies to see what she's doing. Her performance seemed to be hammed up like she was the next Meg Ryan. I went to see it cause I'm a huge fan of Chloë Grace Moretz and she was amazing in the film. Sam Rockwell was also worth the price of a ticket. It's been ages since I've seen him do something that exploits his charm and humor. The chemistry between Sam & knightley was also worth the price of a ticket itself.

Megan's high school friends are all settling down, getting married, having children but Megan, despite living with her boyfriend, is still unsettled. Discovering that her boyfriend is about to propose coincides with her encountering high school girl Annika with whom she decides to take refuge while sorting herself out. Annika's father Craig is not unattractive... This romcom (called "Laggies", whatever they are, in the US, not that the UK title is any better) is a chickflick, by which I mean written by, directed by, and intended for, women of a certain type. I am almost certainly not in the intended demographic. Judged on its own merits, I think it has to be regarded as successful, which is not to say that there's nothing wrong with it. My main criticism, having accepted the series of actions taken by the main character which aren't hugely credible, we are then asked to accept a resolution which comes entirely from the Romcom Expediency Department. Sorry, I couldn't. Having said that, the film benefits from likable characters, good chemistry between Keira Knightley and Sam Rockwell, and good performances from both of them and Chloe Moretz. Knightley's American accent is good, and her performance is more subtle than the film demands.

I don't think this film is particularly great, but I do appreciate that its simple premise is different than the usual thing. Kiera Knightley's accent may be a little shaky, actually pretty shaky at times, but she has a lot of charm and she's very sympathetic here. She's actually not just good in period films, and she's actually an underrated actress overall. The supporting cast is pretty good. Chloe grace Moretz isn't as annoying as she usually is, which is completely surprising, and Sam Rockwell is his usual great self (I really wanted him to have more screen time though). Well, I guess I'll take it, I always want to see him as the lead in films. Overall, this isn't an amazing film, but actually very likable and better than expected.

"I like getting older. When you're in your twenties you're really forging for your future. Things take shape later on." Crispin Glover A twenty-something looking for love today is a wanderer pretty much without a compass, and so it goes in Laggies, an engaging and sometimes humorous film from Lynn Shelton. Megan (Keira Knightly) has obtained a graduate degree but looks like she is still graduating into maturity, and not quite a sophomore in that school. She's getting engaged but uncertain about the commitment to sweet Anthony (Mark Webber), partly because she doesn't want to be coerced by others' expectations and gradually she's attracted to the father, Craig (Sam Rockwell), of her young friend, Annika (Chloe Grace Moretz). Yes, it's confusing although most of us know life is messy at best anyway. Megan's existential crisis is precipitated by her meeting high school senior Annika and her friends, who throw Megan back into that uncertain but semi-carefree time, giving Megan the present time to assess her future plans. Her defining characteristic is to live her life on her own terms, even though that plan is murky and her backbone not yet fully formed to pull it off. Although future plans are what her friends' demand of her, Megan resists the easy formulas for marriage and its aftermath. In a real sense, she questions why she should be fixed in the formula of adulthood. Therein lies the gem-like center of Laggies, where her soul cries for individuality and society dictates an adherence to rituals of conformity. While at times Knightly' s hesitating, halting speech patterns cause me discomfort, I can live with the affectations (more appropriate for a teen than a twenty something) as writer Andrea Siegel probes for the nexus of teen turbulence, a time of identity crisis that in Megan's case extends too far into her twenties. Laggies is an entertaining film for exploring the challenges a twenty something faces if she hasn't figured out her goals yet. Well, someone does mention carpe diem, so I guess it's fair to say the film finds that peace and identity in the present, where whether one marries or not does extend into the rest of one's life. By the way, I'm not happy that a woman's happiness is once again determined by the romantic love, but, hey, that's showbiz.

This film tells the story of a woman who escapes from her life and finds companionship with a teenage girl, after her boyfriend proposes to her during her best friend's wedding. "Laggies" shows Megan as a person who runs from the things she want in her life. She strikes up an unlikely friendship with a teenage girl, and they both help each other grow. Another subplot is a romantic comedy subplot between Megan and the lonely lawyer, which I think is more engaging than the main plot. Sam Rockwell is charming as a lonely lawyer, and he is a good match with Keira Knightley in this film. I would have liked to see more of this subplot, and I would not even mind if the story is changed to a romantic comedy between these two!

Laggies is a "coming of age" romantic comedy with a twist as the main character is not an adolescent, but is 28 years old. The film is not exceptional, but it is enjoyable, and its performances and story progression help to elevate an average film overall. Laggies begins by telling the story of Megan (played by Keira Knightley) whose longtime boyfriend (played by Mark Webber) has just proposed to her. Megan, having also just found out her father (played by Jeff Garlin) is having an extramarital affair, experiences a bit of an identity crisis, and doesn't know quite how to respond to her own marriage proposal. She plans a fake trip, in order to escape from her boyfriend for a week, and finds herself in the house of her newly found, 16 year old girlfriend, Annika (played by Chloe Grace Moretz), and her single, stern father, Craig, (played by Sam Rockwell). The main characters go through changes as they begin to know each other. Megan starts out as a manipulative lying person who uses people, but as the film continues, she realizes this is not what she wants and begins to take charge of her own life by becoming more responsible. The character of Annika goes from being a risky teenager to becoming more of her own person, even confronting her own mother. Her father, Craig, goes through a character progression as he becomes less stuck-up and more of a person who actually cares for other people. All of three of the main characters story arcs nicely parallel each other. Out of all of the character arcs, I found Megan's due to Keira Knightley's performance, to be the most believable. However, I did have my issues with this film. I found the boyfriend of the film, Anthony, to be a bit of a push-over and too much of a plot device. He gets introduced, gets a few scenes and then reappears during the climax. Another thing that bugged about the film, was an absurd scene where Knightley has to pose as Moretz's mother and I couldn't honestly believe that anyone would honestly believe that Knightley and Moretz were mother and daughter, what with the twelve years difference, and looking more like sisters. There are some interesting directing choices by Lynn Shelton, including having the film start out with a flashback and then cutting to ten years later. As well as Knightley's introduction, where we see her listening to a CD player on the streets as she holds up a sign advertising her father's accounting business where she works. Check it out for yourself, and see what you think of it.
