"Greenberg" **1/2 (out of four): Roger is what many would correctly deem a mess in Noah Baumbach's biting new comedy "Greenberg."

"Life is wasted on people," mumbles the lead character in Noah Baumbach's happy-go-lucky new comedy "Greenberg." As a 40-year-old carpenter who spent some time in a mental hospital and is now "trying to do nothing for a while," Roger (Ben Stiller) is what many would correctly deem a mess. He's aimless, groundless and randomly unpleasant, which describes the film as well.
