Liberal Arts

— “Liberal Arts” (DVD) was right up my alley, having lived in a college town for so many years and having recently retired from a University job. I enjoyed the humor, the writing, the characters, and the somewhat sitcom-ish vibe. It spends most of its time looking at youth, aging, maturing, and generally coping with growing up or not growing up, but it also touches on, among other things, the value of reading literature and of a liberal arts education. It’s written by, directed by, and starring Josh Radnor. This may not be on anyone's Top 10 List, but I really enjoyed seeing it and nodding knowingly as the characters ponder their lives.
