Rating: 3.5/5 -- The film features snappy, hilarious bits among the coming-of-age vignettes, but it loses momentum as it winds toward a finish. You won't grow bored with the characters, but you might check your watch a few times. Full Review

Rating: B+ -- A coming-of age story with specific touches but a universal appeal. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Modest and good-looking, the film starts as dark comedy and ends in pathos. Director Alvarez makes the Oregon scenery a character unto itself.

There are two other somewhat unrelated parts to C.O.G. - making the entire film inadvertently seem as if it exists as three largely unrelated stories with David as their only link. Full Review

It feels deeply limited. Full Review

People who approach it as a film in its own right, with its own rhythms and goals and pleasures, will be amply rewarded. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/5 -- It's not necessarily the events Sedaris describes that make his essays enjoyable; it's the words he uses to describe them. Without his voice, the story falls flat.

Product Description:

Adapted from an autobiographical short story by Grammy-nominated humorist David Sedaris, writer/director Kyle Patrick Alvarez's gently humorous comedy-drama stars GLEE's Jonathan Groff as a young, self-righteous writer who learns more about life than he ever thought possible while spending a summer working on an Oregon apple farm. David (Groff) and his best friend Jennifer (Troian Bellisario) were planning to spend their summer working together on the farm when Jennifer cancelled on him at the last possible moment. Determined to carry on with the trip regardless, David eventually arrives at his rural destination, where he quickly discovers that his new coworkers seem to resent anyone with the ability to think independently. But in time things start to change; David wins the friendship of an amiable forklift driver named Curly (Corey Stoll), and encounters Jon (Denis O'Hare), a compassionate born-again artist with genuine concern for David's well-being. By the time David's soul-searching summer draws to a close, his arrogance has been eroded by the kindness of the people he once saw as inferior, resulting in a series of life-altering epiphanies.
