Movie review - "Igby Goes Down" (2001) **1/2

A sort of modern day Catcher in the Rye about the adventures of poor little rich Igby (Kieran Culkin) living in New York. Funny and moving with some excellent moments but also at times extremely irritating. Amanda Peet and Ryan Philippe are in the all-star cast - are they in every film with an all-star cast? Igby is a bit of a brat and gets to go to bed with Peet and Clare Danes - how tough can things be? Writer director Burr Steers is a bit of a New York aristocrat, and the film feels like it was made by one.
