After getting dumped by his girlfriend at graduation, Nick (Thomas) experiences a colossal breakdown and feels like his life is over.

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

With festival season in full swing, feel far more comfortable sitting through a comedy that puts all the stresses and worries that come with attending all these giant music celebrations on a pedestal for us to laugh at.
