While We're Young

"While We’re Young" stars Ben Stiller, Naomi Watts, Amanda Seyfried and Adam Driver in this film written and directed by Noah Baumbach. This is not a good film as Ben Stiller tries to play a Jack Lemmon type character against the beautiful Ms. Watts but to no avail. More like a lemon than a Lemmon, he Is awkward and quite annoying to watch. Touted by the critics as a great and "deep" film about the older generation facing the younger culture surrounding them, the film never quite achieves this lofty goal. For the most part, tt Is a trite and meanngless story that had me trying to stay awake during some of its footage. I give the film 2 stars, and am probably being overly generous by doing that.
