Cherry

Cherry (2010) is an indie dramedy from director Jeffrey Fine you can watch online on iFILM. Aaron, seventeen, arrives at an Ivy League engineering program and falls hard — for a woman twice his age.

Linda is thirty-four, back in school to put a messy life in order, and she's the first person to take Aaron's ambitions seriously. He thinks he's the luckiest guy on campus, right up until Linda's sharp-tongued fourteen-year-old, Beth, develops a crush of her own. The result is a triangle where the math refuses to add up in any direction. Kyle Gallner, Laura Allen and Britt Robertson carry the awkward push and pull.

Fine plays it as a coming-of-age comedy that keeps brushing up against real discomfort, never quite letting anyone off the hook. It's for viewers who like small American indies about people making bad calls with good intentions. Stream Cherry (2010) online on iFILM.
