Laggies

Laggies (released in the United Kingdom as Say When) is a 2014 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Lynn Shelton and written by Andrea Seigel. It stars Keira Knightley, Chloë Grace Moretz, Sam Rockwell, Kaitlyn Dever, Jeff Garlin, Ellie Kemper, Mark Webber, and Daniel Zovatto. It tells the story of a 28-year-old woman who experiencing a quarter-life crisis upon her longtime boyfriend proposing escapes for a week where she hides out in the home of her new 16-year-old friend and her single father. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 17, 2014, and was given a limited theatrical release in the United States on October 24, 2014, by A24. It was met with mixed reviews.

Megan is an aimless 28-year-old living in Seattle who is in a committed relationship with her high school sweetheart, Anthony, and is still close with her high school friends. At her friend Allison's wedding, Anthony unexpectedly proposes. She also sees her father cheating on her mother.

Shocked and confused, she flees and runs into teenager Annika and her friends outside a grocery store. After buying them alcohol, Megan plays with their skateboard. When they ask her to join them on their night out, she does.

Returning home, Anthony suggests that rather than having a big wedding, they elope. Megan agrees but delays the wedding by pretending she has a week-long career advice seminar to attend.

Megan receives a call from Annika asking her to pretend to be her absentee mother at a guidance counselor's meeting. She goes to the meeting and then asks Annika if, in return, she can stay at her house.

Annika is unsuccessful at sneaking Megan into her house, where her single-parent lawyer father Craig questions Megan about her relationship with his daughter. While she is candid with him about her existential crisis, she lies that there is a one-week gap between her lease expiring and her move into a new apartment. Craig reluctantly allows her to stay and gradually begins to trust her. Annika asks Megan to drive her to her estranged mother's house to see her for the first time in years.

Craig asks Megan out for a drink. When they return—having had more drinks than they planned—they end up having sex. The next morning, he offers to let her stay longer than the week she asked for, but she declines.

Annika, seeing them kiss, tentatively tells Megan that she approves of the relationship. She then finds the engagement ring in her purse. Megan tells her she's engaged, and that Craig has no idea. On the way home from shopping for Annika's prom dress, they begin arguing, Patrick is distracted and crashes the car. He tells Megan he has been drinking the wine she bought for them because he is upset that his parents are sending him to boarding school.
