An old fan of Matthew Broderick
I'm the same age as Matthew Broderick and had a major crush on him after seeing him in "Max Dugan Returns" in 1983....I was a sophmore in college. It gives me a measure of satisfaction that he's aged slightly soft and puffy, as have I, but I still have my crush on him, as he's a fine actor. This film was very well done and I have absolutely no criticisms for it, which is rare for me, as I see at least 6-8 movies a month, mostly not of the mainstream variety. As stated in the earlier review, this is more of a drama than a comedy, and it's best to know that going in, so you're not disappointed. I'm always surprised when people go to see movies without any background knowledge whatsoever about the story, just who's in it. For instance, I recently saw "Savage Grace" with Julianne Moore. It was a pretty depressing story, but I knew that ahead of time. People walked out after the sex scene between mother and son, and some who stayed were shouting their outrage afterward in the ladies' room.
