Pleasant Comedy
30 December 2011
This is a pleasant slice-of-life comedy about two young women experiencing love and heartache. This was the first feature film for writer-director Holofcener, and she has made a career out of such small films about relationships, particularly among women, all starring Keener. The actress is so good at this sort of role that she doesn't even appear to be acting. Heche is equally good as Keener's best friend, engaged to be married to goofy Schreiber. It's not a great film by any means, but the characters are real and likable, making it easy to spend some time with them. Holofcener has a talent for making keen observations about human behavior.
