Too many serious critics so it seems.
After a long week at work if you want a feel good film watch this with a bottle of wine. kind of old school but with a lot of heart. Decent cast. Some good chemistry. And some twists along the way. Very heart warming...Not an oscar winner but a weekend feel good film!

Let's face it, the critics are rarely right and this is just another example of that. Not a bad story but it was made even better by Wilson and Helm's play on each other. I laughed numerous times and reslly felt invested in the story. I wasn't expecting the ending which always makes a movie better for me. I enjoyed it very much so and I will definitely remember it. Forget the movie snob critics. They suck anyway.
No idea why this movie is getting such low ratings from some? Maybe because its a unique way of telling a story? Anyway I enjoyed this little gem, i didn't walk out of the theatre with a new six pack from belly howling, but i was entertained the whole way through.
Sometimes its best to watch for yourself and make your own mind up and give the reviews a back seat

Chose this as the best of a supposedly bad lot when I had a free rental. Went into it expecting to give up after ten minutes.
Just finished it and really enjoyed it. Obviously there are twists and turns which aren't too hard to see coming, but it had moments of real emotional heft. It was also pretty funny. Nice just to see two good actors making a decent film.

For the first 30-40 minutes it felt like a silly, pointless film. But it really picked up and became a funny feel good movie. I rented this from Redbox and it was definitely worth the rental

- GoofsWhen they all leave Terry Bradshaw Motors, Terry introduces his blue Corvette as a 1975, which it was not. The body style used in the movie was produced only from 1980 through 1982, much later than he had stated. Rear glass panel, grille, tail and molded spoilers are key. Wheel design was first introduced in 1978.
