I normally love the two male leads...but this film seemed a labor of pain and suspending disbelief.
Here we have two former partners in crime, one who steals the other's wife while he's in prison, yet they're still pals and team up for a truck trip from Canada to sell Christmas trees in New York. Paul Giamatti is the cuckolded pal who never lets Paul Rudd forget what he did during fits of overacting.
On top of this, these two petty criminals haven't the sense to bank their sales each day until the obvious happens and to get something to show for their work they wind up pulling a Laurel and Hardy style burglary in New York without getting caught. And they do this with the assistance of a wealthy and cultured Russian woman who takes a liking to the crude and filthy Giamatti character.
In the end, Rudd ends up with Giamattis wife and child, while Giamatti gets nothing...and that's the way you feel at the end of All is Bright. Have a nice day, hopefully brighter and more intelligent than this film.
