Has there ever been a face more suited to male anxiety than Ben Stiller's?

Ben Stiller plays the neurotic well, and he is excellent here as Brad; Austin Abrams is fantastic as the laid-back son with a clear-eyed vision of how the world works.

We knew this guy was a forgettable jerk not worth our time five minutes into this movie.

Stiller is in prime form here, smart and self-pitying in a way that's quintessentially his own.

Stiller's performance is funny and substantive, a subtle portrait of middle-age, middle-class, white-guy anxiety existing somewhere between his best commercial comedy roles and prickly indies.

Although the pacing is uneven, the end result satisfies. The movie may be marketed to art house audiences but it has something to say to (and about) us all.
