Aroview: A graduate student copes with a recent breakup by conducting interviews with various men.

Ill-conceived and messy adaptation of David Foster Wallace's second short story collection is essentially a series of monologues, and as such much of the film's success is dependent on the decidedly varied performances. Krasinski does his best with what is some decidedly un-cinematic material but this is probably one for fan's only.
