amerindie Elizabeth Olsen, Josh Radnor
Enjoyable low-key story of a thirty-something struggling free of his adolescence with the help of a pretty, spirited college girl. JR is pretty blank here; EO has gravitas and star quality which blows him off the screen.
Film features an embarrassing role/performance by Richard Jenkins which brings the whole project down. Another supporting character played by Alison Janney contributes to the overall sense of funk. The film needed more laughs, more play, more life. There was even a character who attempts suicide, inspired by David Foster Wallace.
In spite of its dispiriting tone I found myself caring for these people. Why? Who knows. Maybe because they were readers.
