Overeducated and underemployed, 28 year old Megan is in the throes of a quarterlife crisis. Squarely into adulthood with no career prospects, no particular motivation to think about her future and no one to relate to, Megan is comfortable lagging a few steps behind - while her friends check off milestones and celebrate their new grown-up status. When her high-school sweetheart proposes, Megan panics and- given an unexpected opportunity to escape for a week - hides out in the home of her new friend, 16-year old Annika and Annika's world-weary single dad Craig.

Laggies may not do as much with its ideas as it could, but it's buoyed by a winsome performance from Kiera Knightley, as well as Lynn Shelton's empathetic direction.

'Laggies' charms with its relatable portrayal of quarter-life crisis and standout performances from Knightley, Rockwell, and Moretz. The film's quirky humor and exploration of delayed adulthood resonated strongly, creating an authentic coming-of-age story for adults. However, opinions divided on engagement level, with some finding it merely likable rather than memorable. The romantic elements felt forced or predictable to many, while character development disappointed those seeking deeper resolution beyond the comfortable ending.
