| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfDirector Patrick Sisam merely cherry picks his favorite moments of dysfunction and eccentricity, failing to provide any sort of reasonable argument for Christopher's zombified mental state. |
| User ReviewHeather MI really enjoyed this one. A man discovers how truly screwed up his is through remembering his past. The flashback scenes worked very well and you start to really see the character. |
| User ReviewLisa JThis movie had a few too many flashbacks for my taste, and it was pretty uneventful, but I've always been a big fan of Jimmy Fallon, so I'm glad I saw this movie because it proved his dramatic acting ability. |
| User ReviewKristal CGreat, great cast who elevate the sometimes good, most times mediocre and previously well-travelled material. Love Illeana Douglas - she should be in every film. |
| User ReviewErica Kfamily is mostly a reason for who you become! very touching family relation- an unconcerned egoist father, a sad-lonely-superficial mother trying to make three people a family as trying to improve her son's relationship with his father pathetically...and the family background's effects on the boy's grown up period and his relationship...not a wonderful but a good movie to see. |
| User ReviewNick Bdidnt mind it when I was watching it but when I thought back I thought this was pretty shit. Who knows why you would put Jimmy Fallon in a drama movie, he didnt really seem to fit. pretty average performances from sharon stone and Tom arnold not that I was expceting much though. |
| User ReviewSuzanne Lthere are movies who just has IT, this is not one of them... |
| User ReviewGrant KAn interesting cast is swallowed up in a complete and total misfire. |
| User ReviewRazvan Florentin PI just didn't get into this film at all. I ended up spliting it into two viewings to watch it it was that slow and lacking in any bite. Characters are drab and loose. |
