Song of Back and Neck is worth a watch—even if you’ll scratch your head more often than you’ll laugh.

The romantic comedy elements here are just offbeat enough to appeal. But with every encounter with the needles, the music and the Song of Back and Neck, the pitch rises and the laughs — awkward and endlessly surprising — turn to cackles and then guffaws.

Because Lieberstein is an inherently likable actor, we identify with his plight, even if it takes a while to realize that he’s essentially brought this situation upon himself.

Only the comic parts soar, and they fit uneasily with the pallid romance and half-hearted family drama.

The story...never comes together as a satisfying whole, even if it all proves relatively painless viewing.

What Lieberstein has made is a self-help manual disguised as a comedy.
