I was excited to see this premiere. "Irish", "Malcolm McDowell", and "Dramedy" were things that attracted my attention. I was thrilled when my friend invited me to the preview. What was good? The music, the setting, and Malcom's acting, although he looked pretty ridiculous in a bow tie at his librarian's desk reciting poetry to the video camera.
Sadly, the drama was overwritten then overacted. It became annoying and quite unbelievable. Pretty soon it was "God, please just get me away form these people!!!" - like a bad telenovela or midnight cat fight, I'm not quite sure.
The "big secret" was really just a small one, and one that everyone would have been much happier if it hadn't been kept a secret. The son was an unbearable ass. The older daughter cycled from screaming to purring continually. I don't know why her fiancé stayed with her (or why most people stayed in the theater).
I did however, learn where Keith Richards got the "I snorted dad's ashes" story...
