better with Leif

Jake Roulette (Mark Rendall) is a high school teacher and a pushover. His father Leif (Nicholas Campbell) returns home out of the blue. Leif is looking for money and is living off of his past glory as an author. His mother Rita (Sheila McCarthy) refuses to give him any money. Carmen (Victoria Sanchez) is a mystery woman with a young son.

I really like the father son dysfunctional relationship. I prefer that movie to this movie. It loses something when it switches to a different relationship. It's a better story with Leif and Nicholas Campbell is a superior actor. All in all, this is not bad but a more standard story with Leif would have been better.
