Review of While We're Young (2015) by Eludiumq36 — 22 Nov 2015

A very Woody Allen-esque rom-drom about a very "white" sub-cultural non-phenom of childless guilt. I'm a white guy and even I saw this as so white bread! How this film was greenlit for the big screen is beyond me, it's the perfect fodder for Lifetime or WE. The pace, dialogue, scenery is all so banal and boring. Even the lead character Josh says this self-aware line when conversing with hedge fund Dave (played by Ryan Serhant from "MDLNY", the primary reason I even attempted this) "As with many boring things, the longer you watch it, it takes on a different dimension." Except the longer you watch this the only different dimension you'll encounter is your own dream life (because, um, you'll fall asleep.).

"The Family Guy" did a similar treatment of older couple trying to keep up with a younger couple to far greater effect and interest at a fraction of the cost. I guess films of this low caliber are made simply as a paycheck mechanism for career actors. Every film, every tv show, every song can't be a hit but they keep the ball moving forward, everyone employed.
