Before he was Mark Zuckerberg...

Jesse Eisenberg starred in one of my favorite movies THE SQUID AND THE WHALE (2005) directed by Noah Baumbach. A lot of people slept on this movie, but I'm here to tell you to wake up!

The Squid & the Whale tells the story of two boys coping with the recent divorce of their parents. Jesse plays the oldest son Walt, who's extremely insecure and neurotic (which of course Jesse plays oh so well) The younger son Frank, played by Owen Kline (son of Kevin Kline) is one of my favorite characters in movie history. This little boy such a smart ass and he steals every scene he's in. I thought this movie really captured the emotions of dealing with divorce parents yet keeping the humor dark.

PS. The title of this movie will make sense to you once you see it...so NETFLIX!
