Seriously? Carrie would rather stay in bed than deal with the immoral, sex-obsessed hypocrites who seem to overrun her hometown, New York City. She's sick of trying to be like everybody else. She isn't!
She's isolated, friendless, dateless and unemployed. So when her therapist gives her a five-point plan to change her social-outcast status, Carrie takes a hard look at herself…and agrees to try. As she achieves each goal it brings her closer to the understanding that humans, like books, can't be judged by their covers.
Based on Caren Lissner's bestselling book, Carrie Pilby is a charming, upbeat and funny story, not to be missed.
Critic Reviews:
- " This is, ultimately, a very happy and upbeat film, and one with a very clear moral center. " – Guardian
- " This ‘emotionally immature braniac’ character is funny and heartbreaking in equal measure. " – The Playlist
- " This is not a film which challenges the stereotypes of teen coming of age movies. However the dialogue is sharp, and Powley's comic timing is well-tuned. " – Screen International
