One&#8217;s ability to enjoy <em>Modern Romance<\/em> rests on how easily you can relate to the lead character &#8212; Peary finds him &#8220;sympathetic yet obnoxious&#8221;, but I think he is, quite simply, insufferable. Indeed, it&#8217;s impossible to have any sympathy for someone as &#8220;completely oblivious to his awful traits&#8221; as Robert is; one can&#8217;t help comparing him with Woody Allen, but at least Allen&#8217;s characters always exhibited a healthy dose of neurotic self-deprecation.  <\/p>\n<p>Kathryn Harrold does a fine job as Robert&#8217;s girlfriend, but it&#8217;s difficult to enjoy her performance simply because we can&#8217;t figure out why she&#8217;d want to be with this loser in the first place &#8212; let alone after the way we see him treating her again and again. The only mildly enjoyable scenes focus on Robert&#8217;s work as a film editor for real-life director James L. Brooks &#8212; yet these have nothing to do with the primary story, and could easily be from a different movie entirely.
