As soon as this became available on Prime, I was giddy. I've been waiting for this for what seems like an eternity, and couldn't wait to sit down and enjoy this on a Friday night.
I've long been a fan of Richard Jenkins- since the first time I watched him in Witches of Eastwick, and fell in love with his dry delivery, and his ability to make even the most mundane things seem monumental. Every episode of Six Feet Under that featured Nate Sr was such a treat for an already exceptional show.
That being said, this is so far away from what I'd expect from him, and I wonder if it was due to needing a paycheck, or some piece of blackmail that was dangled to convince him to take part in this absolute train wreck of a feature film. The director should be ashamed of himself for his abysmal effort and taking some pretty stellar actors and making them into a grade school theater production.
Just a miserable film that I cannot express adequately enough in print how abominable this is. Save yourself the time.
