Almost Adults

Almost Adults follows two longtime best friends in their early twenties whose lives are pulling them in different directions. Mackenzie is coming to terms with her sexuality, while Cassie is getting over a breakup with a boyfriend she had been with for a long time. As each woman deals with her own changes, the closeness they have shared since they were younger becomes harder to hold onto.

The film is a Canadian comedy-drama directed by Sarah Rotella and written by Adrianna DiLonardo, with Rebecca Swift producing. It stars Natasha Negovanlis as Cassie and Elise Bauman as Mackenzie, alongside Justin Gerhard, Winny Clarke, Mark Matechuk and David John Phillips. For Rotella, it is the first of the two features she has directed, arriving well before Last ExMas in 2024.

Almost Adults was released in 2016 and runs 90 minutes. It has a modest footprint on IMDb, where it holds a 5.6 rating from around 3,300 votes, and on TMDB, where it sits at 6.1 from roughly 150 votes. The larger vote count on IMDb suggests a reach beyond the film's small production origins, though the scores themselves point to a mixed response from viewers rather than a broad breakout.
