I thought this suffered from the same flaws that sunk Royal Tennenbaums for me: we were presented with unlikable people pursuing scuzzy occupations (drug dealer, fraudulent psychiatrist) and asked to care for them. I didn't find the sight of this kid pushing his ice cream cart filled with drugs around NYC funny or cute. His relationship with the shrink came across as phony. Most of the people on screen loathed themselves and each other and I pretty much agreed...they were loathsome.
The courtship had its moments...particularly the outdoor shower scene...and it rang true to life but at the end I didn't care about the resolution. At all. This was forgettable to me.
