Wonderful character development!

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Just goes to show "stars" don't make the movie. Boring. Poor writing, mostly cliches.

What an embarrassment! Oh, the actors are all really great but their acting really (literally) sucks here. It's not their fault. The director and writers should be flushed down toilets; the toilets they obviously sprang from. Now, to cleanse myself after watching this puke, I must seek out every one of the actor's best movies and watch them all again. Also, I am now dying to check out actual comedy performances by Jessica Kirson whose 15 seconds of screen time was actually very funny. Too bad the truly usually great Robert De Niro didn't learn a thing from her in his preparation for his "comedy" role in this movie. FYI, the ONLY good acting in the film was from Danny DeVito who actually conveyed true emotions throughout. He should receive a special Oscar for rising above this horrid material.

DeNiro is my one of my all-time favorite actors. I love his movies...this one I didn't. I thought it was over the top. The foul language, which I have definitely experienced in stand up comedy (and actually love) seemed forced. It didn't feel at all like DeNiro was enjoying this role and every scene he was in, felt like it. In fact the last couple of movies he's been in have felt like it. I don't know if he is continuing to take roles simply for the paycheck, but I wish he would be more choosy in his role picks!

This movie really had potential... Bobby did a great job, the plot is fine, here is the issue I don't know Leslie Mann, she might even be a great person but she is annoying to watch, her acting skills need work. Now acting is not easy, and she could become great, but in this movie she quickly became a liability, not an asset. This is what creates a bad product.
