Greenberg (DVD)

Greenberg (2009) starring Ben Stiller, Greta Gerwig, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Rhys Ifans. Roger Greenberg (Stiller), after suffering a nervous breakdown in New York, travels to Los Angeles to house-sit for his overbearing brother. Roger gets involved with Florence (Gerwig), the aimless but attractive gofer who usually acts as personal assistant for his brother's family. For some reason Florence likes him, even though he is in general a jerk and treats her poorly. Is it possible these two could end up together? You'll have to wait until the last five minutes of the movie to find out, but it's an entertaining wait. Gerwig is a real revelation. The film is rather well written. The subtitles are pretty good. Grade: A-
