lust in America
I do like Albert Brooks. As an actor. As a writer and director, his movies fall short of funny, happy to be amusing. Modern Romance is par for the course.

Only in the exchange with Medowlark Lemon does the movie come close to explaining Brooks’ neurotic obsession with his girlfriend: she’s out of his league. We don’t know enough to understand why she’s with him; the movie is more interested in his antics. Not only is Brooks’ character narcissistic, his movie is too.

The foley scene, the shopping excursion, the Hollywood party are all deftly handled and expertly underplayed. I truly believe that Brooks can find the humor in anything. But he’s satisfied with too little in his movies, and his disregard for structure (in his early films) is both curious and frustrating. It’s as if he thinks he can get away with less if he doesn’t seem to be trying as hard.

Essentially, Modern Romance is a 60-minute monologue with some situational humor mixed in. Is he in love with her, or with himself? That may be the point, but that makes me neither marvel nor laugh.

Early Albert Brooks (showing definite room for improvement)
Early effort by writer-director-star Albert Brooks is a slimly-budgeted, tiresomely ‘with-it’ Hollywood comedy about a movie editor unable to get on with his life after a romance with glamorous but aloof Kathryn Harrold falls apart. It would be too easy to label this another “Annie Hall” knock-off, especially as Brooks has some smart ideas in lampooning the business of B-movies; however, an honest comparison between Woody Allen and Brooks does show how one filmmaker can reap timeless comedy and pathos from a failed-affair situation and how another writer-director cannot. There are too few jokes, too much whining, nudity from Harrold that appears to be used for shock value (not for titillation or for humor, which is useless in a comedy), but plenty of Brooks himself–which makes the film a love-it-or-leave-it venture for most mainstream audiences. ** from ****
