Josh Radnor, who's like Paul Rudd's puppyish cousin, wrote, directed, and stars in a sharply thoughtful comedy about a 35-year-old dude who returns for a weekend to his leafy, idyllic Midwestern college and becomes involved with a 19-year-old sophomore. The movie both celebrates and deftly satirizes the castle-in-the-air romance of undergraduate life, and Elizabeth Olsen, as the precocious Zibby, proves that she has star power to spare. She's brainy and elegantly sensual, like Vera Farmiga crossed with the young Faye Dunaway.—Owen Gleiberman
