Bailey and Darla embark upon a misguided and mutually deceitful form of therapy, one in which they must drive across the country re-enacting Darla's colorful history as a sex addict. As their true motivations for the road trip come to light, the unlikely pair force one another to confront their issues, discovering that there might actually be more to love than just sex.
Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend if you're not bummed out by cancer stories.
Honestly, all I needed was Brittany Snow to watch this, and she handles the role masterfully, elevating it past being a slutty hot girl and really showing the emotions and the damage her character has installed.
Sam Richardson and Anna Akana were a delightful surprise, and were characters worthy of their own movie, potentially the one leading to their break up before this movie, or even a high school movie where they first got together.
Richardson really gets the same expression as Snow out of his character, as both are filled with this damage, desire to heal and a full tank of emotions.
I get that some people think we have enough cancer stories in the movies as it is and don't want another one, but this really feels like more than just a cancer story: it's a non-traditional romantic dramedy with elements of cancer.
I think it is well worth the watch: it is substance meets sexual humor.
