Noah Baumbach is a brilliant director both visually and in the performances he’s able to get out of his actors, which gives me a lot of hope for Greenberg despite the fact that I’m actively NOT a fan of Ben Stiller.

Greenberg seems to set its sights on the Office Space crowd who still share Peter Gibbons’ dream of doing nothing, but in a way more indie sort of way. Ben Stiller plays the titular lead and is somewhat of a hopeless romantic. A romance starts to blossom between him and his brother’s assistant, played by Greta Gerwig, but it seems like he’s too awkward for his own good and it may get in the way of the relationship.

Baumbach has certainly proven himself as a force to be reckoned with in the indie circuit and it looks like he’s put together a fun and touching piece to extend his already impressive resume. Plus, he’s got the heart strings on lock down by including a sick dog in the mix, so bring your tissues or you’ll end up crying into your girlfriend’s sleeve all night. I MEAN! Uhhh, she’ll be crying into your sleeve. I DON’T CRY AT MOVIES! STOP JUDGING ME!
