Unscripted by L @RT95685623 May 15 I'm not usually a fan of Ben Stiller since he has a very limited ability to be dynamic and most of his roles. This is one of those. Although I can actually say that the writing is good, the entire movie plays out as if we are waiting for something that never does happen. In my opinion it is a waste of time, because as good as the writing is. There is no subject, there's no conclusion, and it just leaves you hanging at the end of the movie. It's like an unfinished movie. I wouldn't waste my time on this. And I wouldn't want to see another movie from Ben Stiller for a while.

This movie is like eating faeces expecting that eating more faeces would eventually make them taste like milky chocolate. Guess what, it doesn't. I'd gladly recommend it to my enemies.

Just. 😐 👍🏼👎🏼 Although Brad has a satisfying career, a sweet wife and a comfortable life in suburban Sacramento, things aren't quite what he imagined during his college glory days. When he accompanies his musical prodigy son on a university tour, he can't help comparing his life with those of his four best college friends who seemingly have more wealthy and glamorous lives. But when circumstances force him to reconnect with his former friends, Brad begins to question whether he has really failed or if their lives are actually more flawed than they appear.

How one's personal values shape one's life because they shape one's choices to a large extent. At the same time, it points out the fact that what we define as problems is very much shaped by the culture and socioeconomic background from which we come. I really liked Ben Stiller in this and Austin Abrams, who played his son was very good, with a nuanced portrayal of this highly intelligent, talented, sincere young man. I recommend it and right now it is streaming on Amazon Prime video for free. See more Bryan B @heybryan 01/21/2024 Could have been titled this is 50. But its a sad inversion of getting older instead of celebration. See more Read all reviews
