The Greenberg movie's main protagonist escapes from a nervous breakdown and declaratively "temporarily no busy". From this point of view he does nothing and almost nothing happens in the movie. Director, probably even would not mind to sit in front of Greenberg on the edge of the pool all the half and one hour, but the damned human conventions make both occasionally move. Stiller clearly relishes the role: nature has limited its role, but here with the usual cosmetic changes Stiller's character changed radically. Gestures, facial expressions, manner of speech - the same, but they did not remain a single gram of charm, fixated on their tedious frustrations Greenberg is the last person with whom you want to be in the same room.
