Depressing, but there’s enough quirkiness to keep it light. Payne’s good at that. He’s not Wes Anderson quirky, but there’s just enough to take the edge off.
Nice to see Nicholson embracing his old age.
Interesting ending. What’s the message there?

About Me
I'm a photographer, web developer, travel enthusiast, and movie buff living in Alexandria, Virginia, USA.In the summer of 1993, I started writing reviews for every movie I saw and haven't looked back. I'm up to 2,295 reviews now. This makes me cool or a complete dork, depending on your perspective.
Some of these reviews contain spoilers, so if that bothers you, don't read!
