Normally one does not put dramedy and Ben Stiller in the same sentence. Well it’s happening in this case as Ben Stiller stars in this particular sub genre directed by Fantastic Mr. Fox writer Noah Baumbach. We get a dose of Stiller in a some what more serious role, and no were not talking serious like him snapping over killing a panda. Here’s the plot synopsis and the trailer from Apple.:

Greenberg (Ben Stiller) is at a crossroads in his life. Out of a job and none too interested in finding one, he agrees to housesit for his younger and more successful brother, thereby getting a free place to stay in Los Angeles. Once settled in, Greenberg sets out to reconnect with his old friend and former bandmate Ivan (Rhys Ifans). But times have changed, and old friends aren’t necessarily still best friends, so Greenberg finds himself spending more and more time instead with his brother’s personal assistant Florence (Greta Gerwig), an aspiring singer and herself something of a lost soul. As their relationship develops through a series of embarrassingly awkward romantic encounters, even someone as irascible as Greenberg might have at last found a reason to be happy.

Greenberg comes out on March 12th, 2010 in theaters everywhere.
