Review of While We're Young (2015) by Dal1960 — 12 Apr 2015

I thought this movie was hot mess. At times I found myself lost inside the many issues going on. Old school wanting to be new school. Today's kids are so selfish. Many themes goings on. In the end, the movie was very predictable.

Some performances worked, others meh. I'm not a big Adam Driver fan. Whether it's in "Girls" or this movie, he pretty much gives the same performance. Ben Stiller is..well. Ben Stiller. He's a competent actor and doesn't bring much to the table.

The gems in thsi movie re Amanda Seyfried and Naomi Watts. Of the three Noah Baumbach movies, this was the least impressive. It was just too all over the place. I will say I was a little bored, towards he end, or maybe I was exhausted.

I liked Charles Grodin as Watts' dad. By the way, New York filmmakers should stop rehashing Woody Allen's work. It doesn't compare.
