Such a thoughtful review that he couldn't even get its title right.

I was at the screening. My most anticipated movie of the festival and one of the worst movies I've seen all year. What a waste.

No wonder why this movie had showtimes at 3PM and 8:30AM despite its pedigree…

This review isn't harsh. I was also at this screening, and it's a terrible film. There's no indie-film website conspiracy against it, however comforting of a thought that might be.

I was at this screening, and I think this review is insanely harsh. First off, there's a lot of laughs, some extremely witty dialogue, and the movie is quite touching and heartfelt. It has a mainstream comedy high-key look (which I don't love, but it is what it is) and a main plot with some genuinely odd turns.
Here's my prediction: indiewire, the playlist, and the dissolve, and all the other hipster sites will hate it for not being arty enough, while mainstream critics will see a surprisingly deft comedy replete with big stars and social commentary. It wasn't a perfect film but I found its shambolic shaggy-dog plot to be intelligent and well-orchestrated.
As a side note, I liked the Mad Men moment when Sally caught Don, so maybe Schobert and I are already far apart in our critical opinions.

I suppose it's pointless to ask about Jenna Fischer's part in the movie.

Ouch. This is a disappointment, especially considering how hilarious Mad Men can be.

Steve Dallas? The same name as one of the main characters as the comic strip Bloom County?
