Farmiga and Garcia have a chemistry that's unassuming and sneaky, and the pleasure they get from each other's company ultimately proves infectious[.]

2.5/5

It's a confidently made, well written and handsomely performed scenario that gets a surprising amount of mileage from overly familiar dramatic tensions.

3/5

Garcia and Farmiga's appealing chemistry supplies the pep missing from the limp script and although the prevailing mood is cosily light-hearted, there's a bittersweet undertone to the film.

*spoiler alert* but not really Im mad that they didn't end up together. Why do they never end up together! The writers think its deep? Its a cliche at this point. The movie was ok a bit cheesy the relationship between the two made it watchable.

Nice little movie about what could never be as two strangers (parents) accompany their kids to a college tour and meet and squirrel away for their own tour. Unrequited relationships between 2 adults are painful…

Ferris Bueller for adults? Two parents are taking their respective kids to a college tour, and of course they are opposites, but they strike up a friendship and play hooky from the tour - hijinx ensue. It isn't rip roaring funny or anything, but it is engaging enough to watch. The leads are ok, but geez Garcia has to be like 20 years older than the female lead. The acting is pretty good, but the script, after a strong start, starts to peter and gasp.

This movie can’t possibly be trying to make us sympathize with the parents right 2.2

it was ok overall, adult childish behavior on campus for the day sums it up, not much to the story.
