Drama
3 stars
Somber and seemed really long at 107 minutes. Ben Stiller stars as miserable and cranky guy who is house-sitting for his brother after returning home from a mental hospital. He tries to reconnect with old friends, Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill) and Jennifer Jason Leigh, but they seem almost as miserable as he does. His brother’s personal assistant (Greta Gerwig) is a sweet, naïve girl whom Stiller takes advantage of, and slowly develops feelings for. I thought this would be more of a dry comedy, but it’s mostly depressing. If you like dry movies like The Royal Tenenbaums or The Darjeeling Limited then you may like this one. This just wasn’t my thing.

About Me
- Mary
- I love movies. I love the big screen in a darkened theater with a great sound system. I love the popcorn with the fake butter too! I go to the theater 2 or 3 times a week, depending on what movies are out. Luckily, my husband allows me to be a spoiled housewife who doesn't have to work anymore, so I can enjoy quiet matinees. Even with the not so great movies, I can usually find something I like about them. If you are the "hard to please" type, this page is probably not for you.
