QUICK TAKE:
Romantic Comedy: A college student becomes increasingly anxious and dismayed when his planned day in Manhattan with his college girlfriend keeps getting delayed.
PLOT:

Gatsby Wells (TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET) and Ashleigh Enright (ELLE FANNING) are romantically involved students at Yardley College. When she gets the chance to interview famous movie director Roland Pollard (LIEV SCHREIBER) in Manhattan for the school paper, Gatsby decides they should make a fun weekend of it in the Big Apple.

With her interview turning into a private screening of Roland's latest film -- that he despises -- with the screenwriter, Ted Davidoff (JUE LAW), Gatsby has time to kill and ends up briefly appearing in a kissing scene with his former girlfriend's now grown-up younger sister, Chan (SELENA GOMEZ), in a low-budget film being shot by their mutual friend.

With Roland flying the coop and going off on a bender, Ashleigh and Ted go looking for him, only to discover that his wife, Connie (REBECCA HALL), is having an affair. He ends up sending her to the studio to search for Roland and it's there that she meets dashing young actor Francisco Vega (DIEGO LUNA), with both ending up smitten with each other.

With Ashleigh ending up MIA, Gatsby resorts to hiring an escort, Terry (KELLY ROHRBACH), to pretend to be Ashleigh at a party being thrown by his wealthy parents (CHERRY JONES and JONATHAN HOGAN). As the day wears on, it's unclear how all of the developments will affect Gatsby and Ashleigh's relationship.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13
For mature suggestive content, some drug use, smoking, language and partial nudity.

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!!!
