This movie reminded me of 'Girls'


And Lena Dunham's loosely self-based character of Hannah Horvath.

Can anyone recommend similar films/tv shows?

Being a 20 year old girl, I am really enjoying alternative views on the whole coming-of-age thing.

One saving grace: Emma Roberts is roughly 87 zillion times as good looking as Whina and her character is about 4000 times less detestable.

It reminding me of Girls as well, but I thought the Emma Roberts character was annoying as hell. She makes Hannah Horvath look like a genius.

Sorry, just because Emma is more attractive than Lena, doesn't make her any less annoying. I honestly found Emma Roberts character to be much more unbearable to watch than any of the characters I've seen on girls.

The Lifeguard with Kristen Bell was pretty good, in my opinion. Similar subject.

Dunham's Tiny Furniture is of course very similar (although much more depressing).

I guess Whip It! and Adventureland are a little bit similar if you haven't seen them. They're a bit more popular I think. Whip It! isn't about a post grad though.

Stuck in love, the perks of being a wallflower, the art of getting by (also with Emma, Freddie's character was extremely annoying tho)

I thought emma roberts really showed her acting chops in this. I wish she had been in Girls.

I loved her in this movie!!!

It definitely does remind me of Girls, with all the whining and complaining and lack of confidence, although the Emma Roberts character was much more annoying than anything I've seen on Girls. The only difference I can see between Adult World and Girls is the fact that Hannah Horvath (Lena Duham) actually has some writing talent.
