Sleepwalk with Me (2012)

Lauren Ambrose is lovely as the girlfriend he's a fool to lose but seems intent on losing anyhow.

Sleepwalk With Me calls to mind Judd Apatow's "Funny People" for its focus on the eccentric, obsessive nature of the wannabe comic's mind.

It's a comedy about the unchecked id; indeed, there's sleepwalking in it. But will those grunting strolls happen through a second-story window or on the highway? You're left cringing, and that puts Birbiglia in excellent company, alone though he might be in bed.

As charming as it is winningly modest, but it's so incredibly slight a stiff wind would knock it into a different hemisphere.

Fans of Birbiglia should be easily entertained, and with a little luck, it will only earn this particular loveable neurotic a few more of those.
