It is COVID-19 "stay at home time" so I watched this on YouTube free streaming movies. I became a Highmore fan for the movie "August Rush" and more recently have been enjoying him in the TV series "The Good Doctor" where he plays a young surgeon with autism.
Here Freddie Highmore is Charlie, working in a Mobile Alabama movie house mostly manning the concession stand. He is wise and a talented up-and-coming chef but is stuck, unmotivated, perhaps traced to an automobile accident he was in not many years ago.
He encounters a pretty girl working at the coffee shop but is too timid to have a conversation with her, and certainly not to ask her out. Besides her boyfriend is the local track star.
I would describe this as a "soft" movie, there are several scenes where characters just couldn't, or wouldn't, express what is actually going on with them. It is mainly about Charlie's coming to grips with his lack of trajectory in life and finally deciding to do something about it. The coffee house girl is an important part of that as it causes him to realize some things he was suppressing.
Not a great movie, mostly forgettable, but a good watch for those of us who enjoy Highmore.
