Very bad writing, one dimensional characters, and a huge pile of over acting. Not worth a second of anyone's time. I pity anyone that took part in this film, and I shun the writer and the director.

As one of Robin Williams last film credits, I really REALLY tried to like this movie.

The writing in this movie is all over the place and at times it can be difficult to determine what the films message ultimately is. Not to mention that the casting of Williams is totally wrong. I almost think the film would have played out a lot better if Dinklage and Williams had switched places.

Williams portrays a hateful, racist jerk and the put it simply, he just isn't that guy. Sure he can joke at the expense of others, but in a way that never feels aggressive or cruel. Also, I'm no prude, but the foul language throughout the feel was not only completely unnecessary but also borderline shocking.

Really disappointing, and not a title that Williams should be remembered for.… Expand

It is not a comedy since there are no laughs. It is not a drama, there is none. It is loaded with offensive, foul language which serves no purpose. The point of the film might have been to live life to the fullest. It did not come near making that point properly. On the contrary, it made the point that one would be better off never to watch such horrible mess of a film.… Expand

The Good: Robin Williams has a solid moment or two, though they are few and far between. The idea isn't a bad one and parts of the ending were well done.

The Bad: For the most part though, the film is weighed down by mediocre performances (including Williams) and clunky direction. Williams is supposed to be a complete jerk and entirely unlikeable, but goes too far and comes across as someone who will never change. Even towards the end when Williams is supposed to realize what sort of person he has been his entire life, it doesn't quite feel like he's changed very much. It's difficult to get into a film like this when the lead is so unlikeable (all the way up til the end!) that you don't really care if he lives or dies. Mila Kunis, who is usually pretty good, was terrible in this. Not even Peter Dinklage and Melissa Leo could save this film from being a below average mess.… Expand
