Not Ross!

I expected to dislike this David Schwimmer movie, but was pleasantly surprised. I loved the tone and mood this movie caught. The main character is a loser, but not one I could relate to. He didn't set out to be a loser, and he's not hugely off-track, life just didn't work out like he thought. The predicaments he gets into (such as giving the eulogy for a classmate he doesn't even remember) happen in plausible ways. But the best thing about this movie is the melancholy that is prevalent throughout. Something that is usually hard to capture...either a movie is too funny, or too maudlin. Good movie for a rainy afternoon when things just aren't going your way.

6/10
