Ben Stiller continues to cultivate his lost, unsure persona which has reared its head in a trio of Noah Baumbach films, his own (The Life of Walter Mitty) & now this one from writer/director Mike White (School of Rock/Chuck & Buck). A father decides to accompany his son on a tour of colleges but finds himself at odds w/the choices he's made in his life (he runs a non-profit concern) as compared to his richer, more affluent college mates who are now kings of the world. An easy going jaunt through the land of regrets & lost possibilities, this film works at a minor key but its message is still potent enough to get across.
