The Extra Man

Twee soundtracks, hipster girlfriends and annoyingly adorable coming-of-age stories? The Extra Man is laden with all that crap and more. Starring Paul Dano, the movie establishes its starchy, wanna-be-literary hero and throws him into a deathly arch Manhattan populated by a stern but rascally older roommate (Kevin Kline), a bushy-bearded neighbor (John C. Reilly) and a sylphlike lust object (Katie Holmes). How long will it be before a twinkling Velvet Underground song is heard? Or before young and old swap choice bits of insta-wisdom?
