Indie, Dry Comedy
3 stars
Kinda slow and awkward. More of a typical indie with plenty of awkward tension, but it wasn’t as comical as the previews led us to believe. John C. Reilly stars as a sad and depressed guy who meets the woman of his dreams in Marisa Tomei, until he meets her overgrown, emotionally dependant son, Jonah Hill. Jonah Hill plays the typical product of a broken marriage who is too selfish too allow his single parent to move on, so he does everything in his power to drive the outsider away. I liked it, but the film moved slowly and the awkward tension, which is almost a hallmark of independent films, is played out almost too much in this movie. Only for indie lovers and/or diehard fans of the stars.
