Really solid Rotten Tomato score on this one. Any fans?

Based on the novel by best-selling author Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About a Boy) and from mega-producer Judd Apatow (TV’s “Girls,” This is 40), this charming tale of life’s romances and second chances is “like Before Sunrise but run through a Nora Ephron filter” (April Wolfe, The Village Voice). Certified Fresh™ on Rotten Tomatoes, this charmer, written for the screen by Evgenia Peretz and Jim Taylor & Tamara Jenkins and directed by Jesse Peretz, also stars Chris O’Dowd (Bridesmaids, Molly’s Game, TV’s “Get Shorty”).


Annie (Byrne), the long-suffering girlfriend of Duncan (O’Dowd), develops an unlikely transatlantic romance with the once-admired, now washed-up singer-songwriter Tucker Crowe, who also happens to be the subject of Duncan’s musical obsession.
