Jay Duplass directed this slight but engaging road movie about a couple, Josh (Mark Duplass, who also wrote the script) and Emily (Kathryn Aselton), trying to jump-start their stagnant relationship while picking up and delivering a used armchair Josh has bought as a surprise birthday gift for his father. Their romantic rekindling is threatened by a series of mishaps and diversions, including the appearance of Josh’s brother (Rhett Wilkins), a blissfully untroubled slacker. The movie may not amount to much, but the genial tone and exceptionally good performances from the three leads make for a winning debut feature. 84 min.
