Story: |
Meet Roger Greenberg (Ben Stiller): a dysfunctional 40-year-old at a crossroads
in his life. Roger wants to 'do nothing' for a while, so he agrees to housesit
for his younger and more successful brother, giving him a free place to stay
in L.A. While in town, he tries to reconnect with his old friends and band
mates but times have changed, and old friends aren't necessarily still best
friends. Greenberg starts spending time with his brother's personal assistant
Florence (Great Gerwig), an aspiring singer and herself something of a lost
soul too. During a series of embarrassingly awkward romantic encounters, we
sense that perhaps even someone as irascible as Greenberg may have found
somebody who is prepared to appreciate him for himself - if he would only stop
critiquing Florence's techniques in bed. Over the course of several weeks, we
watch an uncertain and wonderfully vulnerable courtship play out, and learn
how funny, and terribly unpredictable, love in the modern world can be.
