The following email exchange just took place between my brother & I.
Me: P.S. Do NOT rent the movie Greenberg starring Ben Stiller. It is the worst movie I've ever seen in my life. Ever.
Ty: Regrettably, I started to watch Greenberg. Christina made us turn it off like 10minutes into it though. Talk to you soon. Ty
Me: Something instinctively told me that you guys were going to watch it and I felt compelled to warn you. Christina made a wise decision. Literally, nothing happens between the time you turned it off and 104 minutes later when the credits roll. Literally....nothing. I was so mad at the end. I can't even believe that movie was made.
I recall saying half way through the film that I hoped Ben Stiller's character decides to off himself because it would mean the movie was done.
So consider yourself warned.
Anyways, to each his own I suppose. I am not a film critic.
These people are however:
-Good luck with yourself, Greenberg. But I think I want to break up.
-The characters are so socially destructive that it’s difficult to care what happens to any of them.
-Roger Greenberg is not the kind of guy you want to wind up next to at a dinner party.
-You may well identify with Roger's relentless irritation. But you probably won't like it.
-I only kind of like it, and I'll probably never want to see it again, but I respect it on some level.
And my favourite review so far:
-Detest may not be a strong enough word to express what surely ranks as the worst movie of 2010. If you choose to ignore this warning, you may want to jump off a cliff after seeing this debacle for yourself.

Sarah and I saw it in the theatre ... and walked out after 45 minutes ... but to get a refund we had to leave 15 minutes earlier - gaaawwww!!! It was AWFUL
OH and I failed to mention that there were a total of 5 people in the theatre - me, Sarah and 3 old ladies, I'm talking Sophia old (not Blanche old) - and the oral sex scene at the girls' apartment? AWKWARD ...
