Title: Fresh Scripted Dark Comedy
Review: This movie is definitely worth your time. It's not hard to believe that a guy named Billy Bob Thornton would play a good alcoholic, and he comes through in every respect. If not for the Cohen brothers producing this movie, the premise is one that could fail miserably. But the wit and sarcasm of Thornton and his "little friend" in the movie deserves severe accolade. Not to say the film doesn't have its share of cheap laughs, but there are plenty of smarter jokes to keep it fresh. I do agree with most reviewers that the young one who plays the "kid" in this movie gives the best performance. If not for the cheesiness of the getaway towards the end of the film, it would have gotten 4 1/2 stars.
