Noah Baumbach has never been the go-to guy for warm and fuzzy characters, but he seems to be testing the limits with his latest protagonist, the unemployed, unmotivated, and almost thoroughly unpleasant Roger Greenberg (Ben Stiller). That’s not to say that the movie named after him is equally unlikable, however; although it sometimes plays like a mumblecore remake of As Good As It Gets, Greenberg finds Baumbach’s acerbic wit and keen sense of interpersonal dynamics intact.
