I just saw this for the first time... I rated it higher than I did Baumbach's more serious Frances Ha, which I enjoyed watching about a year ago. For some reason, I didn't care about story structure and stuff like that while viewing this; I only cared about how effective the film felt to me. And this, a comedy, made me laugh, laugh, laugh. I actually feel that Noah Baumbach's strong suit probably is comedy. I need to see more of his films to try to ascertain this.

A quick note: I admire how Eric Stoltz, who played the lead character, executive produces the films that he acts in. He's done this more than once. It seems a great way to be sure to act in the types of films you want to be in--by helping fund them!
