“PS, look for the Pirates to win big in the late ‘20s.”

From Long Weekend.

After his mom died from cancer and his fiancée left him, Bart (Finn Wittrock) suffered a nervous breakdown, and since his release from the hospital, he has felt disconnected from the rest of the world. Unable to find work as a writer and able to afford his rent, despite his friendship with his apartment super (Wendi McLendon-Covey), Bart prepares to move in to the garage of his best friend, Doug (Damon Wayans Jr.) and Rachel (Casey Wilson). With nothing else to do, Bart decides to go watch his favorite movie, but he falls asleep and is awakened at the end by a pretty woman (Zoe Chao). Embarrassed, Bart heads home, but then the woman chases after him to bring him the jacket that he forgot in the theater. The woman introduces herself as Vienna and then invites him to take her out for drinks. The two make an instant connection and Bart is surprised to find how perfect she is, despite her mysterious bag full of cash, lack of cell phone, and vague background story. While Bart is willing to overlook all of these elements because how perfect he and Vienna are together, when she claims that she is here from the future, it tests his already precarious mental health. Vienna tells Bart that she is from the year 2052 and that she snuck back in attempt to pay for her mother’s medical bills in the future. Bart is inclined to believe Vienna’s impossible story, but the more time that the two spend over the next few days leaves him torn between believing his heart and his head.

This dramatic romance has enough touches of fantasy to create a truly unique story. Chao and Wittrock have an undeniable on-screen chemistry that covers over the less-than-realistic elements. Sweet, funny, and sometimes heartbreaking, Long Weekend is a movie that will stay with viewers long after the credits roll.
