Cherry is a 2010 American comedy film directed by Jeffrey Fine and starring Kyle Gallner and Laura Allen. It was released on SXSW 2010.[1]
Aaron, a college student with a passion for art, is majoring in engineering because his Mom insists. He falls in love with Linda, a classmate, a much older woman with a teenage daughter and a boyfriend who she is not very interested in. While Linda is more interested in a friendship with Aaron than a relationship, Beth, the 14 year old daughter, develops feelings for Aaron and confesses her unrequited love. Darcy, a woman who lives down the hall, also has some interest in Aaron, but that friendship is equally rocky.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 64% based on 11 reviews.[2] Kimberley Jones, in her review for the Austin Chronicle said that "Despite some tonal inconsistencies and ill-fitting stabs at whimsy, all-around good performances, Fine's snappy script, and Michael Hoskins' original illustrations elevate Cherry into a sensitively felt and fundamentally sweet coming-of-age pic."[1]
