I found this movie entertaining, albeit sad. It's about a 40ish-year-old, single, unemployed guy trying to reestablish some childhood friends. Nothing seems to work out for him until he meets a younger woman.

It's been quite a while since I've seen this movie, but I did enjoy it and do remember enough about it to have to say that I disagree with some of the negative reviews and low ratings expressed on this web site.
What I recall is thinking that this was one of Ben Stiller's best performances. Yes, he does portray a character who has some issues, but lots of real people do. I think this film did a pretty good job of telling a realistic story about someone who is trying to find themselves by going back home and finding mostly old friends who are still doing exactly what they were when you last saw them in high school.
If you're looking for another slapstick comedy, such as Night At The Museum or Tropic Thunder, this will not fit the bill. On the other hand, if you are looking for something a bit unexpected, this might just be what you're looking for. I thought the characters were well developed and realistic, the movie both thought provoking and funny. It's a film I would actually enjoy watching again. Recommended.

No "Tropic Thunder", but better then the reviews will lead you to believe.

This movie basically just follows Greenberg, who is--to put it simply--a weirdo. He's not crazy, but he's neurotic and it's interesting to see how he reacts in the situations in the film, because he is just slightly off. I would hardly call this a comedy. It's essentially just a detailed look at a semi-interesting character. Unfortunately, the end falls apart and may leave you dissatisfied.

Worst movie ever

"I can't believe Ben was part of this awful movie. It gets to the point that you don't know if the movie is going to end."
A perfect sleeping pill

"Every now and then super successful stars either tired of his success or the formulaic movies that have made them famous attempt cinema that is completely different from their usual fare. Ben Stiller attempts this change in Greenberg; he is a carpenter from NY, who has had a nervous breakdown. He moves to California to be with his brother and ends up having a romantic pairing with the brother's house sitter. I did not enjoy this movie as I felt it was too boring and the charcters not well developed. The actors and the director were skillful no doubt but the movie was just a sleeping pill. I Hated it. One star. 10/25/10"

"Aimless, boring, every minute of this felt like an hour. We got half way through and stopped. No need to waste our time."
