It seems like it all might change. Noah Baumbach who is fast becoming an award season favorite. His previous directing credits include The Squid and The Whale and Margot at the Wedding, not to mention the fact that he is credited with work on Fantastic Mr. Fox’s screenplay. Match this guys style and wit with Stiller’s comedic talent, and you get an entertaining and possibly moving film. It does look like that manufactured indie work we’ve been seeing a lot of lately. You know, the loner talking about nothing, with indie music laid over the background, and a tentative love interest. I’m hoping it will be a move in the right direction for Stiller’s career.
Synopsis:
Ben Stiller falls for his brother’s assistant (Greta Gerwig) while suffering from a midlife crisis in Noah Baumbach’s (The Squid and the Whale) latest comedy drama. Scott Rudin produces the Focus Features production, with Rhys Ifans, Brie Larson, and Juno Temple heading up the rest of the cast. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide
