Stories Grandpa used to tell

Rating: 6/10 (5 November 2006)

This film reminds me of stories my Grandpa used to tell. They always started out great and got you hooked. Then somewhere along the way Grandpa would lose his train of thought. He would then mix it up with some other story he used to tell and get completely off base. Then Grandma would come in and tell him to take his meds at which point he would give some quick wrap up to the story leaving us completely unfulfilled.
I loved the characters, I loved the acting and I loved the development of the story. However, somewhere along the way the story becomes implausible and the ending falls off considerably. Worth seeing but not memorable. Oscar worthy in a slow year - maybe.
