It is rare to have a movie feature as the lead a "young lady" (and twenties is young and I have no doubt she is a lady) where the actress doesn't exist in the movie to settle a man, to bag a man, and is allowed to have personality quirks and imperfections. When do you get to see this reality and depth of real life meeting the road of a real dimensional character? (unlike Knocked Up or, well, any movie with young actresses). Young ladies are supposed to have it all together and are allowed to be messy only to the degree that they can have a squealfest with other female characters over shoes, a man, a wedding venue....
