Director Richard Ayoade's film lays Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novella out in a nowhere land of office bureaucracy. Jesse Eisenberg plays Simon James, a skivvying worker bee who's belittled by his colleagues and shunned by Hannah (Mia Wasikowska) the elfin girl who works the office's giant, clanking photocopier. Eisenberg also plays James Simon, Simon James' doppelgänger, who arrives unannounced, wins over the boss and immediately starts dating Hannah. No-one reacts to the duplication, because Simon is such a nobody. You don't know it's a copy if you haven't seen the original.
