For some, life is like a stage drama. At times, life can present strange scenes, with few options other than to take the nearest staircase.

This is the case of Roger Greenberg played by Ben Stiller in the Greenberg movie. Just when life is not adding up, when 1+1 is simply not equal to 2, Roger realizes that it is time to take a break from the hustle and bustle of New York City. He ponders for while what would be the alternative, but can’t figure it out. A thought comes to his mind, he must move across the states to Los Angeles.

But he knows top well that he must not bear burden to anyone. So he chooses the most menial of all jobs. After all, to be a housekeeper is generally considered a lowly job. But to be a housekeeper for your brother is even a lower job. Life has been at such cross road for Roger Greenberg that any option is as better than the current.

Finally he begins working at his brother’s house in L.A. This is where fate strikes. He begins an affair with the brother’s assistant, Florence. The comedy and drama begins as Florence, played by Greta Gerwig, begins to warm up to Greenberg. Florence is an aspiring singer and it may be this new love of hers can serve as the staircase to her career.

The two begin a roller coaster in life, as their love blooms and grows deeper. During their newfound love, surprises await the two love birds. The drama/comedy is lent more fun as Ifans, who plays Roger’s best friend, is trying cope with divorce. Larson, who plays Roger’s college time love, and Temple, her buddy, also bring in new dimensions that provide countless laughs.
