Greta Gerwig Co-Stars With Ben Stiller In 'Greenberg'

Greta Gerwig stopped by to talk about her upcoming movie Greenberg, in which she co-stars alongside Ben Stiller.

Academy Award-nominated screenwriter/director Noah Baumbach delivers amusement in Greenberg. A story of two individuals trying to build a connection through the Greenberg family. Florence Marr (Greta Gerwig), an aspiring singer and a personal assistant to the Greenberg family. Florence lives alone in a tiny studio apartment and sings at open-mike nights.

When Phillip Greenberg (Chris Messina) takes his wife and children on an extended trip abroad, Florence is left alone. She makes the occasional visit to the Greenberg's home to check up on the family's dog Mahler, and look in on Phillip's brother Roger Greenberg (Ben Stiller), who has come to L.A. to housesit.

Greenberg, who's single and around his 40's, is intelligent, clever, and sharp-tongue. After an early career as a musician in L.A., he begins to work as a carpenter in New York. Greenberg, who finds himself doing nothing all the time, tries to reconnect with his longtime friend and former band-mate Ivan (Rhys Ifans) and old flame Beth (Jennifer Jason Leigh). In trying to reconnect with his friends, he notices that friends don't last forever. So this is when he decides to visit his brother Phillip, and is left stranded because of his lack of driving skills. He meets Florence and discovers a deep connection towards each other.

Gerwig was born in Sacramento, California and graduated from Barnard College, where she majored in English and philosophy. While still studying at Barnard, she was cast for a minor role in LOL in 2006. She's now making her big debut starring in "Greenberg" later on this year.

Greenberg debuts on April 1.
