While We're Young (2014)

Husband and wife forty-somethings find themselves caught between two worlds — that of their procreating couple-friends, and the hipster orbit of a couple of twenty-somethings whose grooviness reinvigorates them — in this really very funny comedy with witty things to say about Gen Xers getting old and having to "hurry up because they've changed the rules, honey."

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013)

Despite its worthwhile message and the fact it is based on the beloved James Thurber character, this ill-conceived, ponderous Ben Stiller vanity project is the pits, unsuccessfully melding comedy (wet), adventure (daft), sudden, unexpected pop culture spoof (bewildering), and endless product placement (shameless), and made even more unbearable by its cast of adults playing adults who act like children, all of them, from cloying start to maudlin finish.
