"How I Met Your Mother's" Radnor wrote, acted, and directed this cute coming of age film, but in this case it's the 35 year old that needs to come of age. His old professor from Ohio has retired (Richard Jenkins from Jack Reacher) and is having a hard time moving on. His girlfriend has left him, but he meets a 19 year old (Elizabeth Olsen plays Elizabeth - she was in Martha Marcy May Marlene), an older female professor (Allison Janney from West Wing), and a book store clerk his own age (Elizabeth Reaser from Twilight) - you can guess who he will pick in the end I think. He also forms a connection with a young free spirit (Zac Ephron from 17 Again) and a young depressed student. It was short and interesting. All in all, I say: RENT IT
