Bored to Death (2009)
Inspired by detective stories, a well meaning but struggling writer (Jason Schwartzman) decides to lead a sort of double life by pretending to be a private detective. When his girlfriend dumps him, it triggers an early mid-life crisis for the neurotic Manhattan writer. He addresses it by indulging in drugs and drink and finally by advertising on Craigslist as a private detective and trying to solve the mysteries in other people's lives - with varying degrees of success.
