Directed by: Noah Baumbach
Starring: Ben Stiller, Greta Girwig, and Rhys Ifans

Greenberg is basically a film analyzing Ben Stiller's character, Roger Greenberg. An edited description from imdb (no spoilers):
[quote]The film follows Roger Greenberg (Ben Stiller), a 40-year-old man who has recently suffered a nervous breakdown and is now struggling to just "do nothing." He returns to L.A., where he had grown up and had a semi-successful rock band, and housesits for his brother, Phillip (Chris Messina), while he and his family are away on an extended vacation. Greenberg meets his brother's assistant, Florence (Greta Gerwig), and begins a halting, awkward romance with her. He reconnects with his old band mates -- including Ivan (Rhys Ifans) -- who are still bitter about a record deal that Roger ruined 15 years ago. Roger also attempts to date Beth (Jennifer Jason Leigh), an old girlfriend. While Roger is housesitting, Phillip's dog becomes sick, forcing Roger to take responsibility for his care.[/quote]

(Don't let this trailer fool you. This isn't a romantic comedy. At all.)

What are your guys thoughts on this movie?
I personally thought this was a great movie overall. Ben Stiller can certainly be an amazing actor and can make his character somewhat relatable and sympathetic despite being almost completely unlikeable.
The supporting cast was also very good, but I found the ending to be poorly thought out and rather abrupt. Overall I would say its very much worth watching.
