‘Unstable’: Rob Lowe’s tech workplace comedy has a promising startup

Paul Rudd is the go-to guy when we talk about actors of a certain age who never seem to actually age — but what about Rob Lowe, who is somehow 59 years old and is still so annoyingly, er, I mean impressively youthful? As Jim Belushi’s Bernie famously said to Lowe’s Danny in “About Last Night…” in 1986, “You know what your problem is? Your face. Wise up, man, you’re TOO good-looking.”

Still true to this day, man! To be sure, Lowe was known mostly for pretty-boy roles early in his career, but he’s also a grind-it-out, team-player, working actor who has wisely taken supporting roles in acclaimed series from “The West Wing” to “Parks and Recreation,” and he has played against type as the foil in films such as “Wayne’s World” and “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.”
