Watching another Eisenberg/Poots joint called "The Art Of Self-Defense".
It has a very deliberate style of line delivery in it that makes each character seem like they came into the real world from a Wes Anderson film.
Almost everyone is slightly off... no sincerity to over sincerity, monotone delivery of speeches that require passion... There are some incredibly funny lines that come purely from this style of delivery.
Alessandro Nivola and Jesse Eisenberg play well with the tone. It has an odd, disingenuous quality to it. Very funny.
