greenberg - 6/10
Weird film is slightly amusing for most of its length, if a bit pointless and one of those films you'd never want to watch again. Strangely the cast is made up of a bunch of mumblecore regulars -- with Ben Stiller, in his best role ever (?!). Yes, Stiller is playing a serious guy... but unlike Permanent Midnight (where her plays the worst "heroin addict" ever), Black and White (where he's an impossible-to-take-seriously cop), and Reality Bites (where he's an old rich businessman; he's supposed to be uncool, and he pulls that off, but other than that, he just feels awkward in the role)..... you can take him seriously! The film consists of him being an asshole, walking around, acting crazy until he suddenly isn't so crazy, going down on a chick, and bitching. He gets the only funny line in the movie, where after he snorts a line of coke, he says "LET'S PUT ON SOME COKE MUSIC!" and he puts on Duran Duran. Interesting little film but eh.
