Odd Ending. Reminded me of a cohen Brothers movie…

Noah Baumbach's most accomplished work to date…

Sandler and Stiller have never been better in Baumbachâ(TM)s sentimental drama about family…

Each story tends to linger, maneuvering from one vignette to the next with an ellipses rather than a period…

Baumbach balances the drama and comedy very well, in a movie that is muddeled but has incredible performances…

It's not a Woody Allen but I like it anyway…

I'd put it in the top third of Baumbach's filmography (up there with Kicking and Screaming, Frances, and Mistress America)…

A comedy of no manners, the Meyerowitzes' conversations are an A+ version of the barbed dinner table banter most large families will recognise…

Great acting, good script, mostly good heart felt dialogue, and a little bit of wanting to be the weird of the cool…

The best pizza in Pittsfield is actually at East Side Cafe…
