Why did I waste my time ?

Rating: 2/10 (11 August 2007)

This was a very disappointing experience. I watched this movie because my wife had heard about it and wanted to see it. We also were aware of the nominations for academy awards. We both thought it was one of the worst films we have seen in the past 25 years. Not funny and not entertaining save the last 10 minutes. The academy must have felt sorry for Alan Arkin for his brief and disappointing role - there is no other reason for his award. Because of the language, this movie is not suitable for children - who would be the only audience that it would otherwise appeal to. None of the characters are appealing. Don't bother with this film.
