Title: Lack of plot navigation, all scenes should move the main story forward
Review: The acting carries this movie. That and some of the dialogue. Other than that my husband I sat watching (at least it had us engaged enough not to press "stop") and thanking God that we didn't pay theatre bucks for this. There are good performances by all the actors but much of it doesn't ring true. It's difficult for me to be fully engaged with a movie if I don't care about at least one of the characters (and I didn't). It seemed as though the writer/director (who does a great job acting in the movie as Shep), had no focus. Was it a comedy, a drama, or a trainwreck? It's okay to be alittle of everything as long as it rings true, comes together, and has at least one character worth caring about. This movie lacked too many of those prerequisites for my taste.
