Cornelia is 43 and
she is married to Josh Sebnick who is 44.
She is the daughter of Leslie Breitbar, he is a popular and respected
documentary filmmaker. They live
in New York and they seem to be happy.
Josh has been working on his own documentary for ten years. They wanted to have children but were
not unable to do so. This has caused a cooling of some of their relationships
with friends who are having children. They
meet Jamie and Darby, a younger married couple in their middle-20’s. They seem cool, smart and
uninhibited. Even though Cornelia
and Josh wonder why Jamie and Darby would want to hang out with them, they get
along very well. Jamie is also
interested in documentary filming and has some ideas.
I was a little
nervous about the quality of this film after watching numerous trailers of BAD
movies. Sometimes that does not
bode well for the feature? Ben
Stiller has played a slacker in so many movies it’s also difficult for me to
picture him as anything else. But, working on the same film for ten years would also qualify as slacking!! This film is six hours
long and his father-in-law states it seems like seven hours!! A good premise for a film but not successfully
accomplished. 2* (I didn’t like
this movie)
