This comedy-drama, led by the likable Barbie Ferreira as Lily, explores themes of resilience and the value of chosen family. Following Lily's emotional turmoil from her boyfriend's betrayal, she forges an unexpected friendship online with a construction manager, also named Bob Trevino. Their connection evolves from digital acquaintanceship to real-life companionship, shedding light on the significance of supportive relationships. The film, set around the Kentucky-Indiana border, captures the regional essence, charming audiences on its festival circuit and delivering a heartfelt message about embracing true familial bonds.
This low-budget, low-key comedy-drama is a little saccharine at times, especially in the final stretch, but it's hard to fully resist its charm offensive.
Writer-director Tracie Laymon lays on the message thickly about the value of chosen family members as opposed to allegiance to the cruddy ones you get stuck with at birth.
