I can't imagine a person experienced with offbeat English-language films of the last ten years not seeing much that's familiar in Adult Life Skills, but it's a lovely movie with some very good performances and it makes some very good choices.

The film squirms with that very British comedy-of-embarrassment, and is rich in daft penis jokes, but with a poignant core that explores Anna's relationship with her twin brother and an eight-year-old kid next door.
