Reviews
I've never heard of Nick Kroll but was a big fan of Rose Byrne's. I'd also enjoyed Ross Katz's other films.
I was looking forward to seeing Adult Beginners quite a lot at this years festival.That anticipation quickly turned to annoyance just a few minutes in. The story is thin and cliché, but what's worse is it bored me tears.
I did not buy Nick Kroll as a lead (since not to be rude he is not a good looking man,) and he doesn't have the name recognition you'd expect in such a key role.
The film seemed so derivative throughout. Where did I see this before kind of reaction. The only good part of it all was that I didn't pay for it.
I can't in good conscience give this hackneyed dreck more than one star.
