Greenberg

Greenberg
4 stars
It's always fascinating to witness a box office powerhouse like Ben Stiller stepping away from the glare of big-budget Hollywood productions to play more understated, quirky characters. Stiller portrays the title character in "Greenberg" with awkward grace. What this film delivers: realistic characters in situations that feel true and a fascinating meditation on the process of aging. "Greenberg" left its mark on me; I found myself harkening back to snatches of the film's dialogue long after my viewing. It's not a film for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
