Ebert liked it (This is an intriguing film, shifting directions, considering Greenberg's
impossibility in one light and then another. If he's stuck like this at
40, is he stuck for good? What Ben Stiller does with the role is
fascinating. We can't stand Greenberg. But we begin to care about him.
Without ever overtly evoking sympathy, Stiller inspires identification.
You don't have to like the hero of a movie. But you have to understand
him — better than he does himself, in some cases). I'm not so sure.
A. O. Scott liked it, too. I am not so sure.
