Why can't Christopher Walken play "normal" roles like this more often. You really forget what a great actor hr is until he gets a role like this. He plays a man who came back to see his father, son and grandson after leaving 30 years before. After his father, played wonderfully by Micheal Caine, dies and leaves a letter that they must scatter his and his dog Spike's, who died the next day, ashes around the country while eating at KFC restaurants. The father and son learn slot about each other during this trip. It turns out that Walken's character is also dying which leads to a touching scene of the son and grandson dancing in their memory. If you watch the film you will find out this significance. This is not a great film but I recommend it as a nice way to spend an hour an a half and feel good afterward
