Good, it's a better movie than Sideways. Though not About Schmidt or Election.

Oh man, that would have taken me years to figure out. Was it Marnin Rosenberg? The Lord of Eltingville?

Platt is a raconteur. Platt would never harm a dumb animal.

It was one of the teachers at Great Neck High School
(spent an entire semester on "Umwelt")

Someone I know had a real-life brush with greatness with the real Marnin Rosenberg.

Sideways is a better movie than Juno, but it's not hard to see why an upbeat crowd-pleaser would do better than a misanthropic drama of sourness and some redemption.
