Day 29: Igby Goes Down

Sadly I was working while watching this movie, which I think is kind of a shame, because I think it has more laughs and more sadness than I could experience glancing back and forth from emails and remote desktop sessions, work for an office that's supposed to closed today. (Am I Dante from Clerks?)

Anyway, I thought I'd never make a "Holden Caulfield" reference, but this movie just screams it. Compared to Igby, Holden gets off easy. It's fun when a bunch of well-known actors get together and make a movie with a real script and everything. Goldblum is, well, Goldblum, which happens to be perfect for the role he's playing. Sarandon plays well as yet another overbearing mother, this one addicted to various pharmaceuticals.
