When my wife and I entered the theater, we realized this movie was playing on the smallest screen with the smallest audience... Now we know why. There were five other couples in the showing on a Friday night. This movie was awful. We were caught in that unfortunate middle ground where you paid your $8.50 so feel you should stick it out to see if things get better, but they don't. This is the first movie in a long, long time where we both looked at our watches to estimate how much time could be left, and we see a LOT of movies.
Both of us think Brosnan is good and, based on some of his other recent works (i.e. After The Sunrise), thought it would be another "fun" movie with him in a relaxed role. Enter Greg Kineer... once again, you become hopeful, but the character makeup of the film changes immediately and you realize it's not what you came for.
There is no character development. Others can review it and say "wow! what a great collection of dark humor and complex characters" but that's crap. Those are excuses for a very poor storyline and weak development, unfortunately played by actors who are capable of much more. They both do a good job of playing the characters on the script. Problem is, there is no substance. While a few moments are funny, they are fleeting moments. There is very little history behind the characters, and even with a plot of emotional loss in Kineer's family laid out, the audience doesn't feel so much as a pang of teary eye about it.
Poor, weak movie. I score 2 out of 10. This doesn't even rate as a rental, and I would have pulled it out before it finished if we were at home. Don't waste your time or your money.
