  MY PERSONAL OPINION IS NO.......

  by lovestalentmoviefan

  .....but that is because I don't like this type of movie. If this is your taste, Stiller does a marvelous job of instilling real detest. His neuroses just plain offend everybody,and he doesn't care. Constantly mistreating love interest. I think the girl is relatable to lots of normal,not very sure of themselves type women. Rhys Ifans was very good in a small role. Pretty dark,depressing.....not sure what to feel. Went immediately after to another movie just to get the taste out of my head. Need to be smart,able to tolerate thoughts of anxiety on middle age and where you're at. Made me anxious and sad.sex and nudity.

  My new favorite Noah Baumbach flick

  by namtastic

  But I'll admit, it's not for everyone.
  
  Please keep in mind: this is a character study. It's a unintentional-romance where the humor exists within a stronger drama, and if you can accept the two leads' vulnerabilities, their development will be extremely satisfying, even as they regularly pass in and out of likability due to their behavior and actions. There are funny moments, but no laughs, if you know what I mean.
  
  There is line (not quite a spoiler, but warning you nonetheless) that really cuts to the heart of the movie, like: Don't you still think of yourself as a guitar player, even though you haven't picked up a guitar in decades? The drama of the movie is here, and seeing someone struggle with something so simple can be frustrating. Some in my audience clearly couldn't handle the arrested development of Greenberg, but know this -- it is perfectly acted and presented, nuanced and developed, and certainly why some react so strongly against it: perhaps it hits too close to home

  Greenberg.

  by hayleyschaef

  Sadly I walked out of Greenberg thoroughly disappointed. It was almost torture to sit through. I felt as though Noah really lost touch with being able to portray realisitc and more importanlty relatable characters going through relatable situations. The Squid & The Whale was such a beautiful capture of that and I feel as though Greenberg had such potential but fell flat and very forced. The overly exhausted acting of Ben Stiller, the terribly insulting portrayals of the younger 'internet' generation to completely degrading women as a whole.

  Greenberg

  by michael weisberg

  What were they thinking? Was this supposed to be an early Woody Allen redux attempt--schleppy guy with neuroses going through life? Except that Greenberg does bad things to prople, and isnt at all likeable. He leaves his girlfriend in the hospital because two 20 year olds say "hey, why not come to Austrailia with us??" What? How are we supposed to believe or relate to that. Ben Stiller is miscast in this role. I couldnt wait for this one to end.

  Greenberg

  by zayden13

  This movie was the absolute worse I have ever seen, and I am 81 years old. I will no longer go to see a movie that receives such good reviews in the Wall Street Journal or New York Times.
