Struggling musician Josh takes his long-suffering girlfriend Emily on a road trip from New York to Atlanta, ostensibly to collect the vintage Lay-Z-Boy recliner he's bought his father on eBay - but also to reinvigorate their faltering relationship. But their attempt at Quality Time together is derailed by a string of farcical events and bizarre encounters - not least, with Josh's stoner brother Rhett, who invites himself along for the ride... Smart, painfully funny and uncomfortably truthful, this is the sharpest, wittiest comedy about relationships (and male neuroses) since Sideways, a breath of fresh air in the increasingly moribund world of US comedies.

-Daily Mirror, UK

It is, quite simply, one of the best American films of the past 10 years…"
