Full Plot Details

Cooper is a Chicago journalist with post-concussion memory loss. His mother wants help moving Uncle Rollie, who's facing his own fading memory, into a care home. Cooper's boss tells him to take a few days, so Cooper drives home. Rollie doesn't want to move, and his salvation may be a rare baseball card of a 1908 Chicago Cub. Maybe they can sell it in Chicago for enough for Rollie to live at home with help. Cooper teams up with Charlotte, his recently-divorced high-school flame, and her son; they take Rollie to a memorabilia market. Rollie insists on keeping the card in his pocket, while more than one rascal wants to divest the old man of his treasure. Can the underdogs carry the day?

Movie Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Leah GreenblattThe result is fairly silly slapstick, but Alda, hair disheveled and brow knit with stubborn intent, is both fierce and quietly heartbreaking.
New York Post - 8/10 by Kyle SmithThe smart indie comedy Diminished Capacity deals with three kinds of dementia: those relating to aging, concussions and being a Chicago Cubs fan. Tying those three things together is a task that the witty script does with surprising adroitness.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Jan StuartAll of the actors convey the ebullience of old friends convening for an on-the-cheap reunion. The shared good spirits result in a diminutive comedy with a bounty of charm and shrewd humor.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 7/10 by Emanuel LevyThe milieu is interesting but there's too much acting (particularly by Alda) in this quasi-witty, semi-melancholy road comedy, perhaps a result of helmer Kinney's theatrical background and lack of directorial skills.
TV Guide Magazine - 6/10 by Maitland McDonaghA risky, not entirely successful comedy about mental disability, based on the novel by Sherwood Kiraly.
NewsBlaze - 6/10 by Prairie MillerAn affectionate buddy road movie about baseball, elder belligerence, and uneasy male bonding between two odd couple mentally challenged guys. And while one appears to have simply lost his mind, the other can't seem to keep track of his.
New York Observer - 6/10 by Andrew SarrisDiminished Capacity is blessed with a blue-ribbon cast.
Chicago Reader - 6/10 by J. R. JonesSherwood Kiraly's slight script only makes this embarrassment of riches seem more embarrassing.
BrianOrndorf.com - 6/10 by Brian OrndorfA gentle, agreeable dramedy, Capacity reveals that Kinney has a unique hold on tone and shares a palpable charm with his actors.
New York Times - 5/10 by Manohla DargisTouches earnestly on heart-heavy issues of loss: loss of memory, of love and, perhaps because of the local angle, of (or rather by) the Chicago Cubs. But Mr. Kinney, a founder of the Steppenwolf Theater Company in Chicago and a familiar face from film and television, never gives his movie a sustained pulse.
