Mr. Jealousy (1997) ***

Noah Baumbach's second film, Mr. Jealousy (1997), definitely meanders a bit and Eric Stoltz feels slightly miscast, but the story is interesting, the characters relatable in some way or other (flaws and all), and it's got some pretty funny moments. Annabella Sciorra is delightful, though her character's choices feel a bit off and somehow unjustified. All in all, a "minor" Baumbach ("popular in schools"), but—as is typically the case with his films—very enjoyable.
