...it almost entirely comes across improvised.
Isn't that the point of mumblecore? Admittedly, if I saw this when I was a kid, I likely would have found it boring, but as I aged, I developed a fondness for Wes Anderson, which led me to liking Noah Baumbach, the Duplass brothers, and every other mumblecore filmmaker. The movies are just so much more real (for lack of a better word), and they really entirely on clever banter between characters. My latest discovery is Onur Tukel, although I suppose I can't recommend his movies to anyone who hates Andrew Bujalski's work. Maybe in a few years, watch this movie again and see what ya think :)
