Summary

Comedy drama starring Ben Stiller, Naomi Watts, Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried. Married couple Josh and Cornelia are in their 40s and live a comfortable if sedate life in New York where for years, Josh has been trying to emulate his documentarian father-in-law by making a film of his own. However, when Josh meets 20-somethings Jamie and Darby, their cool, live-in-the-moment attitude begins to rub off on Josh with surprising results.

Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Stephen Carty

Middle-aged anxieties are explored to amusing effect in this insightful, well-observed comedy drama from Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story). It follows the exploits of 40-something couple Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts, whose lives have become rather stale and unadventurous. Things change, however, with the arrival of Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried, a disarming, free-spirited pair in their 20s. As friendship blossoms between the two couples, Baumbach uses the situation to say something about both generations, poking fun at hipsters while making perceptive observations about what it's like to reach a certain point in life. One or two scenes feel like they've wandered in from a slighter broader comedy, but each member of the cast is terrific - Stiller, in particular, has never been better - and the film is filled with witty exchanges. Highly recommended for anyone feeling wistful about their youth.
