QUICK TAKE:
Drama: Two college graduates try to carry on a long-distance relationship.
PLOT:
Jacob (ANTON YELCHIN) and Anna (FELICITY JONES) are students in Los Angeles who begin a romantic relationship, but then find themselves in a quandary. She's supposed to spend the summer with her parents, Jackie (ALEX KINGSTON) and Bernard (OLIVER MUIRHEAD), back in England, while he'll remain stateside. She decides to risk violating her student visa, a decision that comes back to haunt them as once she does return to London, she's not allowed to re-enter America.

As a result, the two try to carry on a long-distance relationship after graduation while getting on with their lives where he builds furniture in the U.S. and she takes a writing job for a magazine across the pond. Although they occasionally see each other when he visits, their time apart results in him falling for his assistant, Samantha (JENNIFER LAWRENCE), while Anna ends up having a relationship with Simon (CHARLIE BEWLEY).

With time passing by, Jacob and Anna must decide if and how they can resolve their situation and whether they're meant to be together.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
Some teens might be drawn in by the love story, but unless that's true and/or they're fans of someone in the cast, it doesn't seem like this will be a big draw.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13
For sexual content and brief strong language.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
