This is a wonderful movie that never sinks into sentimentality or farce. It would have been easy to overplay both of the Alan Arkin and the James Woods roles, and this movie could have become sappy or too slapstick. This is a gem of a movie that, unfortunately, probably has limited appeal. I think that it was finely written and wonderfully acted and deserves more attention that it has received.
This movie was so bad that I felt that I just wasted two hours of my life. Some movies are bad in a funny way, but not this one. I can't believe that John Travolta and Barry Pepper could lend themselves to a project like this. Others have discussed the plot, so I don't need to. A root canal would have been more fun.
