Taylor (Nick Robinson), an 18-year-old virgin with the unstable heart of an old soul, falls for Krystal (Rosario Dawson), a reformed stripper/hooker/addict who comes complete with a hot tempered ex (T.I.) and an adoring, wheelchair-bound teenage son (Jacob Latimore) who’s two years Taylor’s junior. OnTaylor’s side, there’s a wacky mother (Felicity Huffman), a preening artiste brother (Grant Gustin), and a father (William H. Macy, doubling as director) who once upon a time sought out Krystal’s services. Add to this a meet-cute at an AA meeting and a chase scene involving the tricked out wheelchair, and instead of the Faulkner-esque Southern Gothic they were aiming for, the filmmakers would have had a better shot at pulling off a screwball comedy. A running gag involving Satan incarnate in the form of the dandy who ran over a young Taylor’s pup is as silly as it is burdensome. (2017) — Scott Marks
