Ktown Cowboys is a recognizable story told in a new cultural light, so despite being a slight "coming of age" story, a fresh vibe makes the journey worthwhile.
Adult Beginners benefits from a strong cast that showcases Nick Kroll's ability to blend cynicism and drama, despite working with a story that only offers a few new insights.
