    The Trotsky runs 20 minutes too long and several rungs above the head of its target audience. And though Mr. Baruchel can be very funny in small doses -- a slacker sidekick in "Knocked Up," a gung-ho kid in "Tropic Thunder" -- here he swiftly becomes insufferable, a neurotic nudnik in funeral director attire and John Turturro hairdo.
