Rising indie director Andrew Bujalski (Funny Ha Ha) has made a marvelous new film that revolves around the personal and professional entanglements of twin sister (played by real life twins Maggie and Tilly Hatcher.) Jeannie is a hard-working entrepreneur, co-owner of a moderately successful Austin TX vintage clothing store with a semi-estranged friend who is threatening a lawsuit to end their partnership. She calls on ex-boyfriend Merrill, just graduated from law school, for help. Her sister Lauren, on the other hand, is a rootless free spirit trying to decide whether or not to move to Kenya to teach English. This charming film tells a story of families, friends and lovers, and the awkward moments that bind off of them together.
