Indie comedy from writer-director Noah Baumbach has a lot of great, clever dialogue, and effectively creates an atmosphere of post-grad desperation – but the characters and story are just not compelling enough to sustain it. The cast is serviceable (even though they all look about 5 years older then they’re supposed to be) but it doesn’t really stand out from the slew of indie conversational comedies about early adulthood that popped up in the mid-90s based around incessant Gen-X whining. Baumbach would go on to make much better movies.
