This film was like Leaving Las Vegas on reverse. It is all about people trapped in lives they can't escape from, regardless of their efforts. Matthew Broderick gives a very good performance, while all the other actors support him beautifully.
It is not a great movie, but it certainly deserves a higher IMDb grade. I believe that the low rating comes from the fact that it didn't end with a happy ending as most people would expect.
Bottom line: A movie about the failing of the human heart, a bit funny, without it being a comedy, mostly a drama, but coated in tear-proof material. It is a film for adults, regardless of their age. Watch it, it might surprise you.
