Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl desperately wants to be this year's breakout indie sensation like Juno or Little Miss Sunshine, but the film's DNA leans a bit closer to The Fault in Our Stars than those pop goofballs. Filled with amazing supporting performances by Nick Offerman, Connie Britton, and Molly Shannon, the film plays like a hybrid of the styles, nestling somewhere slightly new and slightly used, with a refreshing honesty most films don't even bother with nowadays.
