Overview
A New Yorker moves to Los Angeles in order to figure out his life while he housesits for his brother, and he soon sparks with his brother's assistant.
The good news about this movie is that it is an excellent character study. I can’t remember the last time that I saw a character as interesting as Greenberg, and still gives a fantastically nuanced performance. Gerwig does her best Gerwig in that she excels playing the quirky girl-next-door type. That’s enough to make the movie watchable.
