    Great cast. quirky characters but strange script. Never really went anywhere.

    Surprisingly BORING. You would expect this combo of Kevin Kline as an aging Ladies' Man to really shine, but the movie is joyless and the plot goes nowhere. I really liked his previous roles, but Kevin Kline is wasted in this production, as are most of the other actors. The previews are better than the movie, actually.

    It was OK; Paul Dano is always good. Didn't regret watching it. Saw it on cable. Probably would not watch it again.
