Greenberg is one of those films where you have to say wow, the performance are Oscar worthy, but trying to get through it, you say, oh will it ever end, puleeeese. I wish I could end my review right there, because that says it all, but IMDb requires a certain amount of lines. This is Ben Stiller's chance at Punch Drunk Love but unfortunately it is just a jumbled mess. Oh, how many times while I watched this movie did I moan, oh, please, just be over already, this is so boring. The plot goes nowhere. This would be cool if it was actually a comedy as advertised but it is not a comedy at all, not a single laugh, not even an attempt at a laugh, it is a drama. A drama needs to go somewhere. The Graduate went somewhere. This movie is just almost two hours of two emotionally imbalanced people interacting to no end. Who cares??? Wasted performances. Wasted talent. Two hours of character study of unlikeable characters. Why???
