"the reason this movie was made: how inter-personal communication is often disjointed, painful, revealing, strained, and funny. "
Thats a good way of pointing out the obvious, i think we can all look beyond that and enjoy seeing some of favorite actors (and musicians in some cases) chatting over a cup of coffee.
That beying said, there is nothing juvenille about saying "i laughed my ass off;" "that was funny as hell.", merely a simpler way of showing our appreciation for a good film. Maybe you analyze too much.

I really wanted to see this movie, since watching two of the original C&C segments several years ago (the Iggy Pop/Tom Waits and the Benigni/Wright one). However I found the experiment of putting together the old segments together with the new ones an uneven experience. I don't know if it was the fact that the almost 20-year space between old and new segments was quite noticeable, or that some of them lagged behind in quality (the Cate Blanchett one I found quite disappointing) but I think they should have been left alone as they are, and probably released as a DVD Collection rather than a feature-length movie. They just work in different levels, and work much better when viewed separately, on different days.
Thanks for the Steve Coogan/Alfred Molina segment though. And thanks for one of my favourite film quotes from recent years.
