The role called for a nebish.
I was surprised at how good I thought this film was. Based on other's comments, my expectations were not high before viewing. But now that I've seen it, I find myself very pleasantly surprised. While I wouldn't rank it among their very VERY best, I still thought it was a fine return to form after the dismal Burn After Reading.
