Actors: Paul Rudd, Emile Hirsch
Director: David Gordon Green
I heard an interview with the leads of this film on NPR when it was released, and one of the reasons for it being set in the 1980s was to ensure that cell phones didn't ruin its central conceit - two guys largely cut off from the trappings of civilization. Great - but Rudd's character seems like your prototypical film protagonist these days. He's decidedly not a man-child, but he has other issues with accepting his lot. His natural daffiness is at odds with his character's emphasis on self-sufficiency. Overall it's a good little movie, but one unfortunate, obvious montage struck it down to a 3 star film.
