Surely we’ll never run out of indie flicks about nebbishy bookworm types who manage to attract the kind of smart, hot gals who, in real life, might drop everything for Javier Bardem but are here thrilled at the chance to hang out with Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz.

The gravel-voiced little guy, who’s been okay in support roles, is out of his acting depth as a misanthropic archivist already beleaguered by wife Chloë Sevigny and sister-in-law Mary-Louise Parker when sexy Australian Emily Browning signs on to his latest project. The gals jam lots of wisecracks into this latest, slightly more opulent effort from Alex Ross Perry, who made sketchy no-budgeters like The Color Wheel and Listen Up Philip, but it’s still all about the guys. The latter film’s Jason Schwartzman shows up here, too. And, of course, in next-gen Woody Allen Land, he’s catnip for the ladies!
