Roger Dodger

The protagonist of the movie is a self-proclaimed lover, Roger, a middle-aged white-collar worker. He always speaks the truth about men and women, so that the listeners can't refute it. In fact, a big man, he is the sex toy of the female boss. When he is dumped, he can only swallow his anger. At this time, his 16-year-old nephew Nick visited and learned that Nick was still an innocent boy who had never been in love. His enthusiasm came up again, and he decided to teach Nick the trick of "chasing women". After a night of nightlife, he realized that he had no idea what women wanted or even what he wanted.

The film opens with a bold conversation between Roger and his colleagues about the sexes at the dinner table. The whole film is also composed of a variety of ordinary and witty and philosophical dialogues. The truth is not deep, but the talks are very good. Some topics are my top It happened to be talked about during the day of the gathering. Now that I feel familiar and cordial, I am also surprised that these points of view are so consistent with what we were talking about. The screenwriter is really excellent, and he must be someone who has been observant and experienced in life.

Roger thought he knew women well, chasing women to the point, but in fact, from beginning to end, he didn't chase a woman. Instead, he was hit by all kinds of women, and his self-confidence was greatly frustrated; on the contrary, he had no love. Nick, who experienced it, was favored by beauties with his simplicity and frankness, and made them sigh "We need a man like you." What do women want? There are many answers, but I think every woman wants one thing: respect. Roger's self-righteousness, eloquence and triumph, is what women look the most down, the more he wants to behave, the more people see his powerlessness and sorrow. Colleagues in the company who are always inferior to him, even Nick, can be better than him. He is like a clown (Roger Dodger is the name of a character in a humorous cartoon. Dodger means a liar. This should be a liar.) Pun) It’s time to reflect on yourself when you’re depressed~~I think this film is more suitable for men~~Roger and Nick are teaching each other something. The 20-year-old man has a hazy view of love and sex. Longing for boys, they all need to learn.

The actors performed well. The male protagonist Campbell Scott was very good. He unexpectedly saw Ben Shenkman in "Angels in America". He was honest, but quietly kicked out Roger's position next to the boss. And the former beauty Isabella Rossellini, time is really cruel, I can't bear to watch the old one. Jesse Eisenberg, who plays Nick, is so cute. No wonder the beauties JJ like to be with him~~
