...Like, You Know... (Wednesday, 8:30 p.m. E.T., ABC) digs into the quirks of L.A.: the obsession with celebrities' cars, the predominance of Harvard grads in the TV-writing business, the fascination with live police-car chases. Chris Eigeman (the cocky guy in Whit Stillman films) underplays the New Yorker perfectly, avoiding the overly neurotic. And in what may be the bravest turn ever, Jennifer Grey plays herself, with lots of jokes about her nose job, past boyfriends and desperate desire to be recognized...
...dozen or so college grads. It's an upmarket Clerks, a less fraught Jeffrey, Barcelona with a faster pulse--or maybe Friends on PBS. Grover (Josh Hamilton) doesn't want his girlfriend Jane (Olivia d'Abo) to go study in Prague--she'll "come back a bug." Max (Chris Eigeman), a guy so jaded that every new experience is deja vu, falls in with cheeky Kate (Cara Buono). Chet (Eric Stoltz) is a professional student, and Otis (the delightfully morose Carlos Jacott) apparently plans to make a career of losing. They all share an avocation: chatting. The young men, especially...

In Barcelona, on a larger canvas, Stillman paints a sympathetic portrait of two Americans -- Ted (Taylor Nichols), a genteel businessman, and his snarkier cousin, Fred (Chris Eigeman), a naval officer -- adrift in Spain during what the film, with beguiling pomposity, calls "the last decade of the cold...
...Taylor Nichols plays Ted Boynton, an American working for an international motor company who is content to stay at home and dance while reading his Bible. (By the way, this was the most interesting scene of the entire film). His placid life is interrupted when his cousin Fred (Chris Eigeman) arrives, purportedly the lead man for his naval ship which is supposed to arrive in Barcelona soon. Fred likes to party and make up lewd jokes about Ted's nonexistent sex-life. But this all sounds more interesting than the film actually...
Stillman cast these two actors directly after finishing "Metropolitan" and their characters do not seem to have progressed much since then. Nichols still plays the over-earnest philosopher and Eigeman continues to play the smart-alecky underling. It's as if Stillman moved the two of them from their New York high rises to the streets of Barcelona and told them to make the best of the locals...
