Greenberg (2010)
Ben Stiller and Greta Gerwig star in this film written by Jennifer Jason Leigh and Noah Baumbach (who also directs). Ben Stiller has just got out of the mental hospital after having a nervous break down and house sits for his brothers family while starting a relationship with his brother's personal assistant.
This film fits well into the genre of low budget films about people where nothing much happens. The title character is nice person and while this is not necessarily a bad thing there is no real character development. There are some good performances from the cast but ultimately you neither feel informed or entertained by the end of the film which is a real shame given all the talent involved.
2/5 not worth seeking out.
