Liberal Arts (2012) 6/10

Starring : Josh Radnor, Elizabeth Olsen, Richard Jenkins, Allison Janney, Elizabeth Reaser
Director : Josh Radnor
Running Time : 98 mins

When thirty-five year old admissions officer Jesse Fisher (Radnor) returns to his old college for a professor’s retirement dinner, but when he meets nineteen year college student old Zibby (Olsen) he finds himself deeply attracted to her in spite of their large age difference.

When I saw an ad for this movie, I remember thinking that if Josh Radnor was in it, he probably wrote and directed it. Low and behold he did! It seems there’s little work for Mr Radnor aside from How I Met Your Mother, and his inability to play any character other than Ted Mosby might be the reason why. Granted, this wasn’t too bad, but it could have been better, perhaps if Radnor had cast someone other than himself in the lead.
