This guy named David invited himself to join The Movie Court, so we let him. Here's a review from him.

Igby Goes Down
Grade- B+

It's hard to get a real feel for this movie, but it's definately worth the rent. Super dark comedy that, throughout, shifts from humor to sadness to depth to tragedy and back to humor. Not predictable (which is a welcome relief). Great cast. Kieran Culkin plays Igby and is not bad (except for the dropping of blatantly unnecessary f-bombs at random times during sentences). Susan Sarandon is a dysfunctional mom. Claire Danes plays the only "normal" character. Amanda Peet (who I have admired since getting naked in The Whole Nine Yards) plays the failed NY dancer, and is impressive (in her acting this time). Ryan Phillippe is Igby's despised, "successful" older brother and is very good. Jeff Goldblum is the wealthy godfather of Igby and is annoying, as usual. Bill Pullman plays the schizophrenic father, but doesn't have a huge role. One review I saw last week called this movie "a spoiled, rich kid living out Catcher in the Rye." If you liked the book, you'll probably really like the movie. If it hadn't dragged a little, it would have been an A.
