John C. Reilly plays a sad sack who kindles a romance with a woman played by Maris Tomei. So far, so good. But then he learns that she lives with her very smart and very possessive adult son (Jonah Hill). This is a very, very dark comedy and a showcase for Jonah Hill, who plays a very manipulative and creepy character with contained intensity. Reilly, Tomei and Cathrine Keener are excellent as always. But, overall, not the most accessible comedy.
