GREENBERG-An unlikely BEN STILLER Flick!

Along came Polly, Starsky and hutch, DodgeBall and the more recent Tropic thunder...Ben Stiller's name is associated with some of the best comedies in today's movie scene!..Here out of the blue, comes Greenberg-a heartfelt, thoughtful story of a lonely man trying to fight various issues within himself inspite of his troubled, slightly psychotic mind.
Roger Greenberg comes to his brother's house in LA to live after being discharged from a hospital of mental health when his brother and family decide to take a vacation to Vietnam!! ( No explanation...Don't ask me why )...He along with his brother's dog spend the days together and in comes his brother's assistant whose job can best be described as a 'grocery-getter'. Ther's an unlikely spark that triggers off between the 2 inspite of the 15 year age difference ( which bothers him too btw )...and thereafter the consequences are for you to see and experience.
Ben Stiller is controlled and mature but you can't help miss his goofy self..There is humour in the movie as well but it can be at best described as dark humor compared to the slapstick stuff we have seen and loved him doing...which also is food for thought because I did not feel the same way when Jim carrey did 'Eternal Sunshine....'
Overall a very lazy casual flick that just wants you for those 2 hours in their world and nothing more...
I'll go with 3 out of 5 for GreenBerg...

keep reelin'....
