Greenberg (R,
Drama) B+
After being released from a mental institution
in New York City Roger (Ben Stiller) comes to his brother’s house
in California. He arrives the day after his brother has left on a month
long family vacation. Roger was an extremely interesting and entertaining
character to watch. The movie shows how he relates to his friend and how
he approaches a relationship with his brother’s assistant. He only
drawback in this movie is that Roger’s main love interest does not
get as much attention about her life. The movie does a better job at explaining
or showing the life concerns of Roger’s best friend than it does of
Roger’s possible girlfriend. It may because she is much younger than
Roger and the movie doesn’t seem to think younger people have to much
history to explain what they want or expect out of life.
