Alright, let’s admit it, it’s a constant formula to any romcom that’s out there. But the fact that Slow Learners relies more on the comedic side than the romantic one is a bit of a relief, considering just how overdone it already is.

They go on date after date only to be rejected and get all the more depressed. Colleagues, they confide in each other about their love woes and they...

Adam Pally — whose offbeat, charming indie rom-com Slow Learners comes out in theaters and on VOD today — instead used it as an opportunity to ask Adam Scott questions that were essentially insults. They discuss what would have to happen for Adam Scott to look like Rachel Maddow, doing television versus having the ninth-biggest part in a Matt Damon movie, and movie ideas in which they are both widowed. Enjoy!Adam Scott: You know when you’re about to leave your kid, and all of a sudden you get paranoid that something terrible is going to happen, and you just hang out for a few extra minutes? I was dropping my daughter off at this camp in the middle of Griffith Park, and...
