Very disappointing, amateurish uneven hodgepodge. I have great regard for Philip Baker Hall but can't think of how he got sucked into this one. Seems like there was no one who spoke up and tried to edit the screenplay or provide some Very disappointing, amateurish uneven hodgepodge. I have great regard for Philip Baker Hall but can't think of how he got sucked into this one. Seems like there was no one who spoke up and tried to edit the screenplay or provide some governing theme. Lots of bad acting, too. Yikes. Expand

I loved the simplicity and pacing of the film. Well acted, sensitively directed and pleasant cinematography. It can be a bit slow moving, but overall it works.

A poignant film about a man and his duck, Joe! The political aspect of the film is much more palpable than Happy Feet... A good film with a great message worth watching.

This movie was incredibly inspiring and thought-provoking. It has stuck with me and made me think about not only my life, but also the state of our country, and the fact that we have become so thoughtless and defeated as Americans. When did This movie was incredibly inspiring and thought-provoking. It has stuck with me and made me think about not only my life, but also the state of our country, and the fact that we have become so thoughtless and defeated as Americans. When did we stop being compassionate? Philip Baker Hall knows all. See this movie! Expand

A horribly-paced mess that takes itself way too seriously and favors cartoonish pathos over realistic emotion. The film never succeeded in making me sympathize with its protagonist due to the sheer heavy-handedness of the tragedies A horribly-paced mess that takes itself way too seriously and favors cartoonish pathos over realistic emotion. The film never succeeded in making me sympathize with its protagonist due to the sheer heavy-handedness of the tragedies continually piled onto him, and every character he met (though some were well-acted) fell into one of three groups of cardboard cutouts. There were the kind, understanding people, the complete monsters, and the people who were in desperate need of Arthur's homespun cliche wisdom. I might appreciate the message of this film more if it hadn't completely driven me away with its shoddy construction. Expand
