More Than Stars

About This Movie

More Than Stars is this quirky little gem from 2012 that captures the essence of friendship in a seemingly idyllic San Luis Obispo. The pacing is a bit scattered as it follows a group of friends who, faced with job loss, navigate their own selfish impulses. It leans heavily into dark comedy, with slapstick moments that contrast sharply with themes of betrayal and personal crises. You can feel the California vibe throughout, with a certain laid-back energy mixed with honest soul-searching. The performances bring a rawness that feels genuine, especially during the awkward attempts at pregnancy. It’s not your typical comedy-drama; there’s a unique blend of humor and pathos that makes it stand out, even if the direction feels a little undefined.
