Sorry to bring the joy down people, but I've been wasting my time for the last 2 hours... When you watch the trailer, you do know what to except of the basic story, the funny/weird romance, etc... what you don't know is how slow & weak the action & dialogs take place. It is so painful to see good actors led to play in such a disastrous direction. Main characters seem to play a caricature of a mentally ill person like "cuckoo's nest" basic redux, poor deniro seems to be stuck in the role of the good old grumpy/lovely dad/step dad for the last decade now. Actors are plainly hysterical, going in circle for the whole movie. I couldn't relate, not one bit. When you go to tragi-comedy genre, you expect to get emotionally involved, I was clinging to my seat after an hour trying to figure out if i had to laugh cry or just get out of the room... The staging & editing is extremely weird but not in the good sense. I wont mention about the American sport community thing, though it made them look all the more pathetic (ok i just mentioned it). Terrible. The last movie -and they are few -that gave me that feeling of total emptiness was "How Do You Know", boy i had hoped it would never happen again... well it is !!!
score 2/10
