Laggies is a quiet movie, it's a romantic comedy and the drama is short, there is no depth in the subject and it becomes just a regular movie. Moretz is one of the best aspects of the film in general.

Scenario is kind of weak. It wants to tell something but telling it hastily. But it has some upsides like the cast and honestly the best thing about this film is Sam Rockwell.
