barely a genuine moment in the movie . he start out set the stage for a thoughtful drama or comedy and then litter it with completely fake character and situation . the zen musician or friend or minister . the lesbian book publisher who get water spit in her face and stick around for a friendly chat . the european boyfriend with the fake european accent and stereotypical lisp . get chase by a security guard around lincoln center . show up in a cab in the middle of your brother or best friend wedding and and not have anyone notice . ludicrous and disingenuous and pretentious nonsense . so many story line start but not complete . the car that he have an emotional attachment to . the child book the girl want to publish . the ex girlfriend who he bump into a couple of time and who make a pas at him and and then you never see again . the sex addict support group . julianne moore act colleague who and at the end and be apparently lead to believe perhaps she be have an affair with and but that be never develop or explain . maggie gyllenhall suddenly and inexplicably pin for a baby . it be just one obnoxious scene after another . a waste of good actor .
