I was interested in this film after I heard an interview with Kevin Kline from Sundance. It sounded like an interesting character study. Kevin Kline always gives his parts a lot of personality. I also wanted to see John C. Reilly, I search out his films and enjoy the creative things that he does with his parts. Unfortunately,the script was not quite up to snuff. I found the characters unlikeable. Poor J.C.R. had to resort to a silly gimmick to make his character even interesting. Mr. Kline did the best he could with a very weak script. It was obvious that he was improvising quite a lot. The younger character had a few interesting parts but overall it was very unorganized. Oh well, I watched until the end and forgot about it.
