Good movie but grossly overrated

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This was enjoyable enough as indie rom-coms go, even though I didn't get (missed?) what motivated Naomi's coming out of denial at the end of Act Two... My biggest Hunh? came when I checked the release date at the end of the movie... I know she was only 18, but as a young woman living in New York in 2015, I found it incredible that she wasn't gay-savvy enough not to have fallen in love with Ely, or at least acknowledge that it could never work out... That kind of naive self-delusion was more fitting for a girl in the more innocent 1970's (I'm thinking of my younger sister, who had a gay BF she developed a crush on) - it's hard to believe that could still happen almost 50 years later in our current culture... In any case, should be popular with teenage girls.

Vapid narcissists Ely and Naomi maintain a toxic friendship where they are co-dependant and yet not honest to each other. An affair between their parents (which ended in a divorce and a barely-together-marriage) has not broken their bonds, even though they harbour unspoken resentment toward each other -- made worse by their ill-advised pact to never date boys they both find attractive.Perhaps we'd feel concern for them if they weren't both so self-absorbed and actually wanted the best for each other. Nope, Naomi would rather Ely conform to her fantasy relationship with him where he is not gay and he gives her the love she lacks from her father -- and Ely would rather not call out Naomi on her disregard for her other friends and current boyfriends, or even call her out on being a bad college student for that matter.What happens doesn't even matter -- like most kids they'll realise that they created most of these problems themselves, and that other people actually have REAL PROBLEMS and maybe they should actually get a hobby or something.If this in any way resembles your life, SEE A THERAPIST ASAP. The characters in this movie are not real, and if they were, everyone would hate them, because they are horrible. Gain some perspective and watch the news or read a book. Just don't be Naomi or Ely. They suck.

Movies like these usually aren't my thing, but I actually enjoyed this film! Both Naomi and Ely were relatable, both as individuals and as best friends, which made the film even more interesting. Even the situation between their parents was realistic. I really admire how real they made everything seem, making it easier for the audience to understand and relate to their own lives.Things between friends can get pretty sticky sometimes, especially when the friends are growing up, figuring out their identities, and trying to find their way in the world. The film really showed how hard this transition can be for young people of this generation, which was really cool. With the complications that come with school, family life, and the transition from being a teenager to becoming an adult, it can be easy to become overwhelmed and lost in the changes. But this film teaches the importance of embracing life, learning from mistakes and messed up situations, and moving forward.Overall, this movie teaches young people a great lesson on love, friendship, and growing up. Good writing, good actors, good plot - good movie!

"Naomi and Ely's" was an enjoyable 90 minutes spent relaxing on the couch on a Sunday night. This sweet coming of age story has some touching moments. You find yourself relating with the main characters as they learn to forgive, let go, love, and figure out how to adapt as their friendship matures. My emotion strings were tugged while watching this flick. I laughed, cried, felt sympathy and understanding, and truly cared for the characters and how their story ended. The plot was good, the dialogue well written, and the acting was relatable. Overall, I was entertained and happy that I chose to rent this movie and spend my Sunday night watching it. :)
