saybow69 My GF make me see everything, yet somehow missed this? Maybe Groundhog Day/Ron Burgundy Anchorman (thought a rip off?) or fact Cage kicks out 10 movies a year now days. I somehow never even recall being out? But saw on Cable today 2018 (lol, ya 13 years late) and loved it! 2005 was before Cage really lost it, so more reason I should have seem. But great cast and dark humor that I always enjoy. Cage getting shakes thrown at him made it all the more funnier. Lol. Good movie!

Semih Sarial I think this is the most underrated film all the time. Nicolas Cage killing it. So realistic family issues and different subject to making movie about. GREAT. Watch this movie like 23.00- 02.00 pm. When movie is finished i was like why is the Nicolas Cage making a movie anymore man we need him.

robert-wood-1 I got this film second hand in a charity shop and thought I'd give it a go. A comedy to brighten your day sounded great. Sat down to watch it with my partner and a friend; part way through my friend turned and asked "Is it funny yet?".An hour in to the film we'd laughed once. Just once. On top of that it was deeply depressing, full of unlovable characters and Michael Caine doing an American accent so awful only Jason Statham has done worse.The marriage was horrible, Gil Bellows' character was foul and you knew almost immediately what was going to happen with him and the son; Cage's character is tragic; his daughter is sad and the camel toe jokes horribly misplaced (I wasn't offended, just appalled); the name calling between Cage and his wife's lover school ground stuff and pathetic.So we switched it off and watched Naked Gun to cheer us up.If this is comedy I'd never want to see a funny film again.Just dreadful. Unbelievably awful. Avoid.

RogerBorg This film has it all! A pancake-laden Cage pulling lemon-face for two hours! Existential angst oozing from every pore! Morose youth, their vivacity subsumed in a clumsy counterpoint of the mid life crises of the protagonists! Yes, there is is, the dignified terminal illness! Aaah, a rapid flash of bouncing tit-flesh, a brief moment of joie de vivre, rapidly and permanently stifled by the crushing burden of first world ennui.Let's be clear, if you want stylish French verite, watch a French film.The Hollywood version is a painfully clumsy pastiche, stumbling from cliché to cliché in a rote, barely aware fashion.This is a dire, dreadful, awful, miserable, grind of a film, with no redeeming features. A critics' dream, the doyen of the Eurphophile intelligentsia: you absolutely must watch this movie if your predilection is for fronting a pretence that the pedestrian can become profound through frenzied beard stroking and expostulation.
