Went to this movie intending to love it because I respect Paul Giamatti so very much. Sorry, not a good movie. First 60% is worth a watch and perhaps worth part of the price of admission, but that last 40%.....take your smart phone so youWent to this movie intending to love it because I respect Paul Giamatti so very much. Sorry, not a good movie. First 60% is worth a watch and perhaps worth part of the price of admission, but that last 40%.....take your smart phone so you have something to do. This looks like a very poor effort in the cutting room with scenes that don't make any sense, being presented in odd ball order. Watch for poor, demented Leo to go home in one scene, and be back in the nursing home in the next with no transition.… Expand

Win Win

McCarthy's grant that comes along with family's business that is to be dealt with, has too much amount to fulfill your needs. This surprising delightful family drama has the heart in its right place, no matter how much obliged it is to the semantics of the structure or how mechanically complex it grows, McCarthy's schemes to keep a broad smile on your face throughout the journey is an appreciative and successful job. With light humor and breezier conversations, it keeps us at ease with warm cozy chemistry of the characters.

McCarthy's world never takes charge, if there is an option directing towards the south it cannot ignore it and this is his ultimate weapon, for even at its peak there is a sense of maturity or immaturity of the characters to keep a socially pleasant expressions on the face and move accordingly. Addition to that, the unexpected turns and revelations in its trajectory is bewildering enough to bite your nails. The stakes might be immensely high, yet its projection of these imprinted plans, no matter how much less-cinematic is subtle enough to poke you off the edge, there is no need for any push.

Giamatti in his middle aged and no so likeable character, is to be rooted for, from his inadequacy to smile or to clear out his intentions, he is a force to be reckoned with. And challenging him equally, lies Ryan's beautiful performance, as an overprotective mother and a fellow companion of Giamatti, she balance the film on a safer scale. The supporting cast like Tambor, Cannavale, Young and Shaffer are holding onto their parts convincingly. Win Win is a big win as a family drama pulsating across a breathtaking match and McCarthy's bluff of not delivering the last end of the track leaves you a bit wiser in the end.… Expand

Portrayed by many as a funny film, this is a otherwise indifferent drama graced with the exceptional charisma of Paul Giamatti, who holds it together elequantly enough to feel like a win win proposition for a DVD night at home.

Lose. I wanted to stop watching it but the girlfriend was glued to the fairy story that was Win Win. Its melodrama. Its a saturday matinee. Its humor without the humor. Its a story without a story. Its annoying.

Paul Giamatti is always a pleasure. And to watch how the arc of his moral dilemma is played out is fascinating in this excellent film. It's comforting to see an all too familiar middle class crisis assuaged in an amusing and non-condescending way.
