Great Expectation: Noah Baumbach's "Greenberg" opens March 12

Following "The Squid and the Whale" (2005) and "Margot at the Wedding" (2007), writer/director Noah Baumbach's next portrait of narcissistic adulthood at its most verbally acute was always going to be anticipated as a likely great.  This just-released trailer for "Greenberg" (Focus Features; March 12) has definitively amped up that anticipation to 11. 

Set in motion to the tune of LCD Soundsystem's heartbreaking pop masterpiece "All My Friends," with its blistering nostalgia building toward a momentous crescendo, the "Greenberg" trailer means business.  Big time. 

Ben Stiller atones for "Night at the Museum," etc. with an apparently outstanding performance that looks to be a game-changer for the usually generic actor.
