Brief Interviews with Hideous Men
2009
Grad student Sara Quinn (Julianne Nicholson) is perplexed by her endless string of romantic failures. Combining work on an anthropological dissertation with her quest for personal answers, Sara interviews an array of men, whose confessions range from banal to bizarre. Actor John Krasinski makes his directorial debut with this quirky comedy based on a collection of short stories by David Foster Wallace.

Some of the interview sections are pretty funny, but the rest of the movie is rather uninteresting, and the dialogue is sometimes very contrived. Becomes a bit disjointed because of the way the interviews are thrust into the middle of the story too.
