This film has its moments. I’m a fan of Albert Brooks. He’s one of the funniest people I follow on Twitter. I like his comedy style. The thing is… I’m not sure I like him enough to watch him do a 90 minute monologue of his musings on romance.
With that out of the way, like I said, it has its moments. There are some laugh out loud gags, witty dialogue, and funny situations. It’s just not enough material to sustain a full length feature film. The other issue is the writing. The dialogue and situations are fabulous but for huge portions of the movie, pretty much nothing happens. For instance, there is a 10+ minute sequence of Brooks wandering around his apartment by himself, doped up on downers, talking with himself and bumping into things. You could fast forward through that and it would still be the same film and story. Stuff like that is happening all the time between the funny moments.
So I can’t recommend it unless you’re a huge Albert Brooks fan.
