Official synopsis: Greenberg (Ben Stiller) is at a crossroads in his life. Out of a job and none too interested in finding one, he agrees to housesit for his younger and more successful brother, thereby getting a free place to stay in Los Angeles. Once settled in, Greenberg sets out to reconnect with his old friend and former bandmate Ivan (Rhys Ifans). But times have changed, and old friends aren’t necessarily still best friends, so Greenberg finds himself spending more and more time instead with his brother’s personal assistant Florence (Greta Gerwig), an aspiring singer and herself something of a lost soul. As their relationship develops through a series of embarrassingly awkward romantic encounters, even someone as irascible as Greenberg might have at last found a reason to be happy
Greenberg opens in theaters nationwide on March 26th. Click here for showtimes in your area.

A true sign of aging is wearing a sweater/ vest combo to a child’s pool, birthday party. I assume it’s summer. And yet, that’s the most real moment to me. Older people wearing layers.
Being ‘the’ new yorker that has gotten a jaywalking ticket in L.A. – hands down the clip of him hitting the SUV as he jaywalked and not expecting the car to actually stop!
Been waiting 3 months for this film to come out!!
Like the letter he writing in pencil to Starbucks.
I like when James Franco’s brother Dave makes that weird generation-Y face when Greenberg is talking to all those youngsters about their parents.
The scene with him on the floor with his dog gets me.
Ha! The letter to starbucks in pencil! Whenever we’d get an unreasonable customer complaint: 99% of the time it was written by some senior in chicken scratch.
The scene when he slams his hand to the SUV after almost running him over and the car stops so he ran away. I did the same thing just the other day.
his conversation with jennifer jason leigh when she responds, “that’s really brave at our age.”
wow, seems like my life. Definitely will see it, the part where the SUV turns on the red. And he hits it. I do that every time. I’ll have the light to Walk and some A$$HOLE will try to cut me off and sneak the light around the corner. So far they’ve never stopped and gotten out of their car. Though if they did, I’d run around back into their car and steal it for a joy ride. Just freak them out an leave it three blocks away.
because I’m a sucker for animals, the scene of Greenberg throwing a frisbee to the German shepherd who barely lifts a head to acknowledge it.
“It’s weird aging right??” -great way to start the trailer that gives the viewer a look into Frank and my favorite moment. This is like a new “Reality Bites” type movie for that society group of after college to 40+ yrs who do not follow previous standards of success and aging: no 2.5 children, no marriage, no corporate job, no house and perhaps not even a car. Ben Stiller is awesome and I’m excited to see his portrayal of Frank, this type of new character in society that does exist, a character at a crossroads that perhaps lasted longer than he expected and has left him melancholy about his place in life, aging, the future.
Looks like the soundtrack is going to be sweet too!
his quote: “i want to be doing nothing, i’m doing nothing deliberately.”
My favorite part was when Ben Stiller mused upon how things are different now that he is older as opposed to when he was younger in a sort of nostalgic yet indifferent light. Something I’m guessing he continues to do throughout the film?
The scene with his cute dog
got more laugh’s out of this 4:51 clip than all of the three SNL episodes I have see this year combined. Exact same shtick each time, uniquely funny each time.
