First of all let's get something straight. This movie featured Ron Livingston and Ellen Page. The only problem, is that Ron Livingston was in it for all of maybe 30 seconds. Ellen Page was in it for a lot of screen time, but she did not have a very deep part and probably was more or eye candy than anything else.
As far as I can tell, this movie was about transformation of two people. The two people were brothers and sisters. The brother was socially inept which was awkward to watch, the sister new age junkie of sorts that was going through a wierd rebound.
This easily could've been one of three possible movies. Definitely three things going on. The parts with Ellen Page are ok, her character is odd to begin with and I found myself snickering a few times because I knew what was coming. Without giving anything away - she tries to hit on her aunts boyfriend.
I give this movie a single thumb up out of four. Netflix anyone? Raik'ii!!!!

Her brother, Paul, an emotional zombie, owns a flagging dental practice, where he enlists the assistance of his equally emotionally stunted daughter, Jenny. Suddenly, transformation touches everyone. Abby develops an uncontrollable aversion to bodily contact, which seriously hinders her chosen profession and the passionate love life she once shared with her boyfriend.
