Newly single, 35, and uninspired by his job, Jesse Fisher worries that his best days are behind him. But no matter how much he buries his head in a book, life keeps pulling Jesse back. When his favorite college professor invites him to campus to speak at his retirement dinner, Jesse jumps at the chance. He is prepared for the nostalgia of the dining halls and dorm rooms, the parties and poetry seminars; what he doesn’t see coming is Zibby – a beautiful, precocious, classical-music-loving sophomore. Zibby awakens scary, exciting, long-dormant feelings of possibility and connection that Jesse thought he had buried forever.

Charming and warm hearted! Young people want to be old and old people want to be young. This film is about growing up and maturity and about how can we face some doubts in life. Josh Radnor writing is so elegant. His dialogues are quirky and so creative you never get bored. I can definitely see an improvement of Happythankyoumoreplease to this. All of the different characters are interesting and the cast is great. I really liked to see Elizabeth Olsen in Marta Marcy May Marlene and is great in this also as is Josh Radnor once again as the main character of one of his films. I loved classic music for the soundtrack. The scene where Jesse discovers that he actually likes to listen classic music and the connection that he does with what is happening in the streets of New York City is very good!

A grown up movie about the highs and lows of being an adult, young or old. Worth a watch, whatever your age.

let me tell you why this one is amazing!! cause Jessy does the right thing, he doesn't act wrong with Elthabite and that's a beautiful point from the story. because we are talking about old-fashioned men, Honesty, bravery, and so on... and of course literature and his beauty. I love that the movie is still on the right road and ending.
