A slight romantic comedy, containing a solid number of laughs, mostly of the awkward variety, and a decent amount of heart packed into an ultimately forgettable narrative.

Do we really need another sad middle-age white guy comedy? Probably not, but if we have to have them, at least let them be more like Paul Lieberstein's Song of Back and Neck.

So why does Song of Back and Neck work? Very little of it seems like it should on paper. I suppose most of the credit must go to Lieberstein who... gained an intuitive sense for how to successfully blend comedy, absurdity, and romance.
