This skewering of Manhattan’s bleeding-edge art and music scene is as one-dimensional as the perpetual scowl worn by Adrian (Goldberg), an avant-garde composer whose ivory-banging, bucket-kicking compositions languish in obscurity while his painter brother, Josh (Bailey), makes bank with his lobby-friendly canvases. They both vie for the attention of Madeleine (Shelton), a hotshot gallery maven. Parker and cowriter Catherine DiNapoli never pass up a chance to snicker at straw-man stereotypes. (Untitled)’s onslaught of self-indulgent bohos and art-versus-commerce clichés are as ersatz as their objects of scorn.
