Laggies (2014)
Overeducated and underemployed, 28 year old Megan is in the throes of a quarterlife crisis. Squarely into adulthood with no career prospects, no particular motivation to think about her future and no one to relate to, Megan is comfortable lagging a few steps behind - while her friends check off milestones and celebrate their new grown-up status. When her high-school sweetheart proposes, Megan panics and- given an unexpected opportunity to escape for a week - hides out in the home of her new friend, 16-year old Annika and Annika's world-weary single dad Craig.

Reviews

TheWrap -
Shelton's comedy isn't just smart, but cheerfully wise; not just funny, but cleverly and endlessly so.

|
IndieWire -
Even if the film doesn't leave much to ponder past the closing credits, it's enjoyable while it's unfolding, doing justice to the strengths of Shelton's ever-expanding filmography.

Film.com -
Superbly written, handsomely made and full of terrific performances, Laggies is Shelton’s best film to date.

Hitfix -
It's a gentle, amiable, sincere little movie, and we could use about a hundred more Lynn Sheltons in this business, making movies that feel this lived in, this true.

The Hollywood Reporter -
More structure and polish doesn't keep Lynn Shelton's latest from being recognizably hers.
