Jean, This movie starts out as a comedy, or a romantic comedy about a young couple (Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts) living in Brooklyn . They meet another young couple and seem to hit it off from the beginning. But the comedy soon ends and the movie becomes more serious and darkens. It turns out everyone is not as they appear. Along the way the writer/director, Noah Baumbach , gives us his views on many of the current social issues of the day. There are a number of side tracks taken including going to an encounter group where you have to bring your own bucket in which to vomit. That is due to the Peruvian drug you are required to take. I felt the movie was short on humor and too long on it's social commentary. Ben Stiller seems to be always whining and overly verbose about how he is mistreated by others in the movie. Dad
