Title: Pretty Darned Bad
Review: Promising cast, forgettable result. Greta Gerwig was delightful in "Greenberg", but here she plays a boring, self-absorbed 29-er (oooooh, big dilemma!!!!), whose "problems" are less than engrossing. She is surrounded by a bunch of cliche males, allof whom are also pretty annoying. Her parents are played (written and acted dismally) by the usually great Bill Pullman and Debra Winger. The poor writing and directing seem to have gotten the better of these fine actors.This is another in a slew of "hip", "how-it-is-now", pretentiously wry bits of fluff. A slightly edgier "Sex and the City"... deep as a postage stamp. We didn't even finish watching it... there was no one to care about. And it wasn't very funny. You could find much better ways to spend your time...
